Sounds like the experience described in PR 239876. Maybe? While I=E2=80=99m not successfully booting 12 yet, I use iPXE and sanboot b= ootonly ISOs. However, those ISOs have failed with the errors described in the aforementioned PR since 9.something. I work around this by building a MDROOT kernel that is installed in the ISO during make target bootonly.iso. Bear in mind the MDROOT kernel must be smaller EFI_STAGING_SIZE and the kernel config/environment must define MFS_IMAGE. PR 227808 describes how to accomplish this.
