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

FreeLDR to try to provide such feature. But ReactOS was

on PXE, producing a BSOD. The code path needed wasn't implemented in the

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.
