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.

If I type any valid command into 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
