Patrick,He's using memdisk because he's using the DOS boot disk to start the installation.
"undis3c.imz" is a 1.44MB floppy (80 cylinders x 2 heads x 18 sectors x 512 bytes each) image that is perfectly bootable with memdisk (albeit using 'keeppxe' on the command line to actually have it work once booted :-) )
The solution you are suggesting below pertains to the Linux boot disk (also the recommended method by Unattended's authors), not the DOS one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------So, r...@krautmann.net, please try to switch to the Linux boot disk and see if it solves your problem.

MENU LABEL ^Unattended Windows install
kernel unattended/bzImage

append initrd=unattended/initrd z_path=\\ntinstall\install
in otherwords, extract out the netboot stuff. Boot the kernel and append
the initrd. Works great.

Subject: [Unattended] Problems with PXE and unattended-4.8
Hi friends,
I have a serious problem with unattended-4.8.
I installed everything on my eisfair server. DHCP, DNS and TFTP are
running.
When I start one of my clients it gets successfully an IP address, and
then the message appears
"Loading unattended/memdisk......OK"
"Loading unattended/undis3c.imz..OK"
Ready..................
And from this point nothing happens anymore.
When I try take different memdisk version I have either the same
result or it reboots after the message "Ready".
I hope somebody could help me, because I had already running a very
stabil unattended-4.7 version...and now I thought I make it better
(F*** Never change a running system :)
(But I tried 4.7 also with the same result)
Thanks for you help
