Looks like the bsdnow.tv folks got their tutorial right then. That's exactly how I did it. I think the problem fundamentally is stated by this on the iPXE.org site (ipxe.org/err/2e0080):

Quote:
If you are running a UEFI version of iPXE then only EFI binaries can be loaded. PXE binaries such as pxelinux.0 use legacy BIOS calls and can never work on UEFI
I interpret this to mean that unless we build an EFI binary version of pxeboot, this hardware simply won't boot it.

Ah. Well, then, it's coming. It's just not here yet.

The amd64 architecture has just had its first few commits aimed at eventual UEFI support.

In April, support for an efi-app-x86_64 target to was added to binutils, needed for eventual bootloader support. And two days ago, commits went in for the GENERIC kernel, which added a disabled option to eventually allow for boot from UEFI, and a UEFI frame buffer driver also was added.

The most interesting commit log is the third of four:
