Have news
Set up Debian in Hyper-V (Porteus does not starts in Hyper-V from iso image) and installed Monkey 0.9.3 on it.
Porteus loads files from httpfs, but stucks at "live system ready now - starting Porteus"...

not sure what it could be. is porteus starting ok on client PC when carried on CD/usb stick?
what's the client PC specs? 'psinfo' raport would be handy...
i would insist on taking easiest approach first. please try Vbox + 32bit Porteus as it's proven to work.
if you get that up on running then you will know that there is all ok with hardware/connection and can move forward with Debian/Windows experiments.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Boot PXE Ethernet Broadcom BCM5906M [14e4:1713] Driver tg3
You must add 2 drivers to the file initrd.xz.
1. /lib/modules/3.1.8-porteus/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko
2. /lib/modules/3.1.8-porteus/kernel/drivers/net/phy/libphy.ko
On the client PXE, boot in "Text mode", then login as root.
Verify parameters : lspci -knn, ifconfig, netstat -r, /etc/resolv.conf ...
Then if all is correct, execute "startx"!
Perhaps you have to modify router's address for internet access :
Add --dhcp-option=3,x.x.x.x to the file /boot/pxelinux.cfg/start :
# start the DHCP server and TFTP server
./dnsmasq --enable-tftp --tftp-root=$ROOT/boot \
--dhcp-option=3,192.168.1.1 \
--dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,"$IP",$IP \
--dhcp-range=$RANGE.50,$RANGE.250,infinite --log-dhcp
Cheers
