"Media test failure", as emphasized by "check cable" means that there is no link detected on the local NIC.

Do you have the link led on for this machine ? If so, you might assume a buggy PXE/bios rom. If not, make a physical fix.

Is the cable okay?

I guess you're trying to netboot a netbook via Wi-Fi — forget it!

Generally, this means PXE BootLoader can use no network connection. Check your cable.
