What are the actual machines?

There are some machines with mainboard BIOS problems which cause this,
but I'm particularly interested in your case since you say 3.82 worked
but 3.83 didn't.  In particular, if you could try the 3.83-prereleases
(or even better, if you feel comfortable with building from source, use
"git bisect") it might be possible to narrow this to a specific change.

However, first of all try "localboot 0" as Gene points out.
