That looks correct to me.

Sorry that the error message isn't very helpful.  I've pushed a change to 
improve this error message: if you use the latest iPXE then you should find 
that it now displays

  Nothing to boot: No such file or directory (http://ipxe.org/2d03e13b)

and you can find some troubleshooting hints on that web page 
(http://ipxe.org/2d03e13b).
