Ok, it seems to hang at the point, where it wants its bootparams information.
(this is sunrpc). Check, if the bootparamd is configured (/etc/bootparams) and
running.

BTW: the switch at the right side of the 4000 VLC is to select serial console
or graphic console as i know. If you get graphics output in both positions, you
may have another framebuffer. I also found out, that there's a difference i
retraces when selecting serial console.
