WinPE within HyperV (Gen 2)

I'm trying to deploy Windows 8 over PXE within a Hyper-V VM.

I used the Assessment and Deployment Kit to create a PE environment that is served through my (Linux) TFTP server. But I have problems with getting the keyboard / mouse / network to work within Hyper-V.

The environment was created with the following command:

copype amd64 C:\tmp\pe

The boot.wim created in c:\tmp\pe\sources I have mounted with the following command:

dism.exe /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\tmp\pe\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\tmp\mount

For injecting the Hyper-V drivers I used the Windows6.2-HyperVIntegrationServices-x86.cab file within c:\windows\system32\vmguest.iso.

After extracting this cab file I have inserted every driver within it with the following command:

forfiles /p c:\tmp\drivers /s /m *inf /c  "cmd /c dism /image:c:\tmp\mount /add-driver /driver:@path /forceunsigned"

Which returns it successfully added the drivers.

The Hyper-V VM is created as Gen 2 without the Secure Boot option. The Windows PE environment starts perfectly, but at the end, when the command prompt is opened and after wpeinit is executed, the keyboard / mouse, or network for that matter, is not working.

Can someone point me out which step I have forgotten to make this work?

Thanks in advance !
