The iPXE progress meter is a bit special, in the classic "run to 99
percent, sit there forever" sense, but you are not wrong: this is not doing
the right thing.
The client should download the kernel, then download an initrd, and then
boot a full Linux environment and run in it. You should see the usual
(verbose) Linux boot sequence progress through.

Sounds like you need to figure out what is going on at that point: is data
still being sent to the client? tcpdump is probably the tool I would reach
for, to verify that, but http://ipxe.org/howto/pcap documents it well.
You might also try a debug build of iPXE to see more of what is happening
in their HTTP client; see http://ipxe.org/download#debug_builds for
details, but that does require building your own iPXE image.
