Wont work yet. ^^
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...

What would the procedure be to PXE boot an bootcd or livecd ISO?

Is it possible with PXELINUX MEMDISK or GRUB4DOS or other?

I had that same issue with my laptop with 2.5GB of RAM. I filed it as a bug on JIRA and it's being worked on. I tested it in VMware though and it worked.
I use ReactOS on real hardware. Will you? My Computers: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/PC_ROS_Rigs Go all the way to the bottom.

I made some modifications to that file that is referenced and I built it. I just need to test it out my laptop to see if it worked.
