You should be able to boot the aarch64 image, it just takes a while. Disconnecting the ethernet cable until the kernel is booted is likely the fastest option. > > 2) if I want to network boot and I can't use aarch64 because of the above > issue what could I use for the boot file for armhfp?

You need to create a folder named 'pxelinux.cfg' in your tftp directory and put a file named using the MAC address of the client, eg pxelinux.cfg/01-02-02-01-07-15-80, where the mac address is 02:02:01:07:15:80. If you run 'bootcmd_pxe' in Uboot you will see the file name it expects. => run bootcmd_pxe starting USB...
