Hi Klaus,

Sorry for the late reply. Does your example qualify as a network boot? 
 From your console output, it looks like you loaded bootaa64.efi from 
mmc and there was human interaction with the efi boot console at least 
once. I need to netboot without the help of local storage or human 
intervention.

I'll gather more info from my setup and post back to this thread.

Thanks,

-Matthew
