Thanks for the reply Daniel.

I should have noted that the machine did the same thing on initial boot
(lacking boot.conf).  Currently, boot.conf only increases the timeout;
it does the same thing with or without a kernel being specified in
boot.conf.  If I type in a kernel to use at the bootloader prompt, it
will boot normally without the delay.

Best regards,
Ryan Smith

The default install don't have these.

May be stupid to ask, but did you try without your boot.conf file?

 From the FaQ a bit lower from it

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PXE

"Note that /etc/boot.conf is only needed if the kernel you wish to boot 
from is not named bsd, or other pxeboot defaults are not as you need 
them (for example, you wish to use a serial console). You can test your 
tftpd(8) server using a tftp(1) client, making sure you can fetch the 
needed files."

Does it go well without it?

Best,

Daniel
