Hello,
I can't get the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Netboot to work.
I downloaded the efi one, verified the sig and configured it both ways, directly with efibootmgr, and with systemd-boot:
$ sudo bootctl list
...
type: Boot Loader Specification Type #1 (.conf)
title: 99_netb.conf
id: 99_netb.conf
source: /boot//loader/entries/99_netb.conf
sort-key: 99_netb.conf
efi: /boot//EFI/netboot/ipxe-arch.efi
...
It's placed on the ESP:
$ sudo file /boot//EFI/netboot/ipxe-arch.efi
/boot//EFI/netboot/ipxe-arch.efi: PE32+ executable (DLL) (EFI application) x86-64, for MS Windows, 6 sections
systemd-boot, gives me on booting:
IPXE initialisiing devices ... ok
...
Failed to execute ... device error
A boot entry from efibootmgr prints the same 2 lines, but without the red line, UEFI is then jumping immediately back to the BBS selection.
I tried to disable fastboot in UEFI, but the error does not change.
Any ideas ?

I don't think the problem is at your end. I have a previously working ipxe.efi entry that's giving me the same error. I had this entry for at least 5 years and check it every once in a while. The last time I successfully used it was about 4 months ago.
As an alternative, you may want to look at netboot.xyz.

Thanks.
I will recheck arch netboot with another older computer - if I remember correct it worked there last week. Need to verify if it's the same file and same config.

Solved it:
enable in BIOS "OnBoard LAN Boot ROM".
I will update the wiki.
