Bug Description

I have observed two issues with BootNext handling in the ARM Bds:

  * The BootNext option is executed before ConsoleInitialize
     is called. This leads to a crash if BootNext is a PXE boot. The
     PXE boot stack tries printing a '.' to console.

  * The BootNext variable is supposed to be a one-shot option,
     but it only gets removed if the attempted boot fails.

Patch attached.
