Since technically GRUB is requesting the initrd file, I tried to rule it
out as a possible cause by seeing if the initial payload that UEFI
downloads directly would time out if it was the same size. I did this by
padding my grubnetaa64.efi binary to be the same size as the installer
initrd.

 mv grubnetaa64.efi grubnetaa64.efi.orig
 cp casper/initrd grubnetaa64.efi
 dd if=grubnetaa64.efi.orig of=grubnetaa64 conv=notrunc

This did *not* timeout. So unfortunately we can't obviously rule out
GRUB as a factor.
