One hypothesis is that the network stack/UEFI driver dies after loading
the initial GRUB image. To test that, I started a ping at the server
until it dropped to the GRUB prompt. Now, I never saw a single ping
response - even while the server was successfully TFTP'ing GRUB from
MAAS. Maybe it just has ping responses disabled. But what I did notice
is that the GRUB process, which is sitting at a `grub>` prompt, becomes
unresponsive while the system is being pinged.

The failing system happens to have 2 models of NICs in it - Intel and
Mellanox. I happen to be seeing this with the Intel NIC. I'll try to get
a Mellanox one wired up to see if the issue follows the NIC model.
