e450 issues - stops after initialising memory (fwd)

Hi I've acquired an E450 system. It power up fine, displays the POST banner, 
initialises the RAM, then just sits there doing nothing, almost like it's 
waiting trying to detect something to boot from. It's possibly a network boot 
attempt but I can't break back to the OBP prompt.

Does anyone know what might cause that behaviour? It does the same thing both 
with a PCI framebuffer card and keyboard installed, and with just a serial 
terminal connected.

Thanks,

Craig.
