I don't think pxelinux can boot GNU/Hurd, because it does not support
multiboot. You need to use pxegrub and give it the same kind of
configuration as is on the installation CDs. You can find an example of
config file on
git://git.debian.org/git/d-i/debian-installer.git
in build/boot/hurd/grub-hurd-pxe.cfg
which has however never been tested, patches welcome.

gnumach is the kernel. ld.so.1 is for exec, which starts the rest of the
Hurd. ext2fs.static provides /, and the initrd line provides the initial
ram disk. All three are essential to get anything working.

It was never meant to boot anything else than Linux, yes.
