That error code results from gPXE not knowing about the SAN boot
protocol you specified (in this case "iscsi"). How did you compile
e1000e-only.iso? It's possible to make a version of gPXE without iSCSI
support but it's not the default. I would try getting gpxe.iso (the
"all drivers" image) from rom-o-matic.net, and see if that works.
