can't input anything after booting the ipxe

I want to install archlinux via net,the current os is debian .Download the `ipxe.lkrn` file ,save it in `/boot` ,edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and add the following lines:

    menuentry  'network boot'{
            linux16  /boot/ipxe.lkrn
    }

Reboot my debian and enter into ipex command console:

    chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php

Wireless over USB ?
some systems don't initialize USB in firmware but leave that to an OS (shaves a few seconds of boot time).
Check your firmware settings, disabling fast boot and/or enabling usb legacy support may help .

Something weird :
That screenshot shows an old release candidate kernel version  , 3.16.0-rc4 .
3.16 is an LTS kernel, but then i'd expect to see a much higher number as 3.16.82 is the latest release of 3.16 .

You did read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netboot ?
