The rpm tool (on the target) is trying to connect to remote servers by default. This is a potential security risk and may cause delays when the target tries to connect.
$ configure --enable-board=intel-x86-64 --enable-rootfs=glibc_std --enable-kernel=standard
$ make fs
$ make start-target
Log in then:
