Since I do have a network connection it's possible to post below
dmesg which reports 592 by 448 screen size. For some reason
sdhci offers several register dumps in seeming complaint,
but they stop eventually and boot proceeds successfully.
The pause at "EFI Consoles" seems permanent, I waited over
fifteen minutes. The pause at "Hit Enter to boot immediately"
rotates the progress spinner one step in slightly under twenty
seconds, so it's not really stuck, merely very slow.
Ntpdate seems to work and set the clock correctly, though
I don't find an entry in dmesg.
Dmesg follows:
---<<BOOT>>---
