To get the Mac to boot from this, I created a new partition and formatted it as HFS+.

Create a netboot set that has a EFI bootloader than support PXE booting.Create a partition on the Mac and directly boot a WIM file that has WinPE on it.I did some further digging and testing, and there appear to be a bunch of options: At PSU MacAdmins conference last week, I had some good discussions about PXE booting Macs.
