A possibility here is garbage control characters, say before
the "boot". YOu might want to type just <return> to the first OK
prompt and see if you ever still get "unknown command" once you
do type just "boot" (and <return>).

The fact that the countdown stopped at 5 (or other early value)
suggests such extra text at that point.
