That error seems to suggest that iPXE is unable to create an SNP device 
corresponding to the network device.

Since commit fc87adb ("[efi] Expose downloaded images via 
EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL"), iPXE needs to be able to identify the SNP 
device corresponding to the most recently opened network device.  This is 
required since we have to provide some kind of device path for accessing the 
downloaded images.

I don't know why iPXE would not be able to create an SNP device.  You could 
try building with DEBUG=efi_snp.
