Great! Now our own bootloader (FreeLoader) must be adapted to boot-up PXE images (instead of using PXELINUX).

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.
