Interesting.  Are you sure you're typing same root-path in the sanboot command 
as is handed out by DHCP?  What happens if you try:

  dhcp net0
  echo ${root-path}
  sanboot ${root-path}

When you get as far as the Windows Welcome screen, you can usefully get 
further debugging information by installing sanbootconf within the Windows 
image.  You can get sanbootconf from

  https://git.ipxe.org/release/sanbootconf/sanbootconf-latest.zip

There are some slightly outdated instructions that I wrote a while ago at

  http://etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/winnt_iscsi_debug

I haven't updated these and migrated them to the iPXE wiki yet, but you may 
still find them helpful.
