It looks like a communications program problem since the output problems start as soon as the PXE loader (in the BIOS) starts it's output. If you read the left hand column of letters from the bottom up you find it says "Console: internal video/keyboardBIOS" weird ! On my terminal emulator (Hyperterm ... how embarrassing) those lines were also unreadable, but in a different way. theWall's console runs at 19200 so make sure that's the baudrate you're setup for.

Using trusty Hyperterm show a bit more, but lines are not scrolling. Although the line of text is overwritten, I'm able to see some text: one of the last messages I'm seeing is something like "'kernel' not found". Then I'm at an "ok" prompt. Typing "?" shows a list of commands like reboot, heap, boot, autoboot, help, show, set, unset, lsdev, pnpscan. I'm guessing this is the pxeboot program running. It must not be able to find something on my host. I'll see if I can track it down, perhaps it is a nfs share problem. Thanks for your support!
