Thanks Ron, I have gone through these options but no luck.
Even my serial console locks up when the main machine becomes unresponsive at the ukc prompt. I have applied the latest firmware and tried the latest snapshot. The symptoms don't change. The long waits seem to improve if I disable USB on the BIOS Is there an easy way to create a modified bsd.rd that has axe already disabled and maybe even USB disabled for use in a pxe install ?

I got around this by boot -c from a serial console. UKC> prompt works from there. You can then "disable axe" and boot.

As per previous thread, your null modem cable must provide DCD; otherwise, you'll see the boot> prompt, but it won't accept your input. It will still take several minutes to boot; haven't heard any reasons for that yet. It stalls after "entry point at ...." for a few minutes, then stalls again a couple of times. But it will finally come up and appears to run ok after that. -- Ron Oliver
