Why would they try to use memdisk in the first place?

I've done this successfully (locally).

We are definitely willing to add NetBSD if someone can demonstrate it working well with iPXE. It's come up several times and it's implementation works with pxelinux in a local setting but not so well with iPXE as the implementation linked looks for a specific file on a tftp source.
