Sounds like my CAPIO Boundless II. I also tried this to boot via coreboot, but 
without success. There is no serial device available on this target for 
debugging purposes and the 82559 seems special as the standard etherboot for 
this device fails also.

Getting a console with coreboot might help for coreboot, but etherboot for 
example cannot use it. So if etherboot fails you will stick at the same 
point.
