The Oberon application runs as a command that only terminates when
Oberon is terminated. Since the boot commands are executed sequentially,
the other setup commands never get a chance.
Try renumbering the Boot commands so as to run all Aos commands before
Oberon. E.g. renumber Boot9 to Boot8 and Boot2 to Boot9.

Alternatively you can also start the network setup in the Oberon.Text.

You can also try running Oberon in the window manager, setting its size
to fullscreen. Although this uses up a bit more RAM it can on some
machines result in a small display-speedup due to the buffering of
single drawing instruction.
