O.k. So this is more than the just a simple misconfiguration.
What I would expect is something like:
Searching for server (DHCP)...
With the number of dots going up on attempted retransmits.
pressing escape tends to restart the process.
But you say it appears to lock up? Hmm....
Confirmation that etherboot actually locks up, (no response to esc)
as opposed to something else would be interesting.
Which version of the linux driver works?
What is the PCI ID? i.e. the very specific model.
Is this copper or fiber?
What kind of switch are you plugged into, and how fast is it?
I seem to remember 1 success report and 1 failure, on this board.
