To debug this, I believe bootchart is the most useful tool. Make sure
/var/log/ is writable on the client, install bootchart and modify the
PXE configuration to use init=/sbin/bootchartd to enable bootchart
during boot. It will give you a file in /var/log/ with all the
details of the boot and make it possible to figure out what is using
the time during boot.
An alternative would be to boot with nosplash as a kernel argument and
remove 'quiet' from the kernel arguments, to get more information on
what is going on during boot.
Happy hacking,
