AFAIK, PXE has been already worked by Hervé
Poussineau, at least, in FreeLDR to try to provide such feature. But ReactOS was then
unable to work on PXE, producing a BSOD. The code path needed wasn't implemented in
the kernel.
And unless I'm totally wrong, I improved some code close to the PXE support in the
kernel, but never check its implementation nor implemented it if required.
Was a long time ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm9VIawx__Y shows ReactOS installed
inside a ramdisk-loaded (by Syslinux) harddisk image.
The tricky bit is lack of documentation of how to do this (QEMU likely)
and it's unknown if it's native code or some memory-driver like
WinVBlock was added.
Relying on an optical drive connected to IDE controller as the sole
method for installing your OS is becoming a liability.
