Brian,

There are 2 possibilities;
1) OBP variable "diag-switch" has a value "true", which triggers extended post diagnostics and then attempts to
boot from the diag-device which defaults to net. So set the Diag-switch value to false.
2) Also check if the E4500 ket switch position is not turned to diagnostics, which also the triggers the above. If
so, change key switch position to "on" (vetical bar).

Regards,
Afrose
