thanks for trying.  you can change boot vars from the keyboard.
e.g. (type everything but the tab)

	a *nomp=0
	a *nousbehci=

unfortunately that first one doesn't work, since mp isn't built
into that kernel.

a few questions:
-  what kind of machine is it?
-  do you happen to have a screenshot?  also,
-  does this machine have a ps2 keyboard or serial?  if so, does it respond
to keys or ^T^T sequences?


normally the easiest way to debug this is to pxe boot with
various printing junk in the kernel till you've found it.
