I've also noticed that the system seems to stall for about 10 minutes

supported.

Define early before you can invoke VMS_LOADER or after. If before I
know what that is and it won't be fixed for zx6000, zx2000, or 2600.

Before VMS_LOADER. It's right after the EFI banner shows up (before the
SCSI disks get discovered).

That is the system firmware trying to figure out the disks it has a
bunch of
problems that have been fixed in later systems.
