You don't give very much information what exactly the problem is. Any messages
on console during the boot that could help us figure out why it fails?

Take a look at [1]. This is a complete pxeboot solution for installing Sarge
using the new Debian Installer. Works perfectly for me.
Even if you don't want to install Sarge, it might give you some ideas on how
to set up pxebooting.
There are some instructions in [2] on how to use it (but the server seems to
be down currently).
