Not sure what your pxe entry looks like so hard to say.
These are some helper rules to help create pxe entries.

I've tried raw, bigraw, etc. I should have included this originally, but here's an example of what I have in a prod pxe menu:
LABEL BSD_INSTALLER
MENU LABEL BSD_INSTALLER
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND initrd=DIRECTORY/bsd_installer.img bigraw
This is handed out via dhcp/gPXE(yes, I know, old)/tftp config that hasn't changed in years. It seems to work great for the BSD labeled ones. Note that in this example I have no global append, so the one from this entry passes initrd as if it were an initrd entry(according to the syslinux docs).

I'm not sure if this helps you, but I've been able to pxe-boot mfsbsd-10.3-RELEASE-amd64.img with iPXE, both with memdisk and with sanboot
Here's my iPXE menu:
memdisk:
:mfsbsd
echo Starting MFSBSD
kernel memdisk harddisk raw
initrd http://fikkie.home.rubenkerkhof.com/mfsbsd-10.3-RELEASE-amd64.img
boot || goto failed
sanboot:
:mfsbsd
echo Starting MFSBSD
sanboot http://fikkie.home.rubenkerkhof.com/mfsbsd-10.3-RELEASE-amd64.img
boot || goto failed
It's hard to tell what your issue is without more details. What is the exact failure you are seeing?

To be honest, it's been long enough that I don't remember where it was
failing exactly. I'm looking at rolling out iPXE to replace my aging gPXE
install everywhere in the next week or so, and I'll give it another shot.
Thanks!

BTW, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. Somehow I failed to notice that while I had updated iPXE, I had missed the old syslinux binaries. Now that I'm not trying to use one from a decade ago, this works fine.

When using mfsBSD with Cobbler, I use SYSLINUX's memdisk driver. Due to the HDD emulation this uses, this can be incompatible with some BIOSes. In particular, the version of SeaBIOS that ships with more recent QEMU/KVM needs to be downgraded. Some Dell systems are potentially affected, also.
