I had the same setup once. It gave the same problems either.
What happens is that the kernel somehow loses its controlling terminal as the
root display after initialising the kernel. The network traffic is the
complete boot played by init.
I don't recall how I solved the terminal problem but I did manage to install
an inetd daemon and telnet access and was able to telnet into the box.
Good luck, Guido
