I enabled CONSOLE_CMD and CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER, rebuilt uefi.ipxe and
added console -x 800 -y 600 as the first line in my boot.ipxe (option
76), and the console now works :-)

BIOS booting errored with  "console: command not found" so I added ||
to the end of the line, and it works for both G1 & G2 Hyper-V, and
BIOS PC

As regards the NIC, I followed http://ipxe.org/download and did "make
bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi" did I miss something specific for Hyper-V

Cheers
