Sort of hard to diagnose without more info. I've seen similar problems after JES startup... like missing or wrong proclibs. But that is after JES2 initialized. Did you try and watch the NIP messages for any errors. I know they can come out real fast on emulated consoles these days... might be able to see them better by using the HMC as a console. What about any other messages prior to JES2 startup. How is it starting (VIA IEFSSNxx, COMMNDxx)? Do you get prompted at startup time? Otherwise... you need to get SAD working.
