 The black screen means that the Picasso is not correctly intialized
at all!  The problem is known, I have tried to fix it using the hack
which added a 0xfff to the register-addresses hoping that the
040-Interface would then magically use the correct registers, alas it
doesn't. 

 The white-screen-bug - which you don't encounter - was due to
too-fast-accesses to the registers in some 040 or even fast 030
environments, this could be surrounded with some NOPs.

 I know the bug is only imminent for A2000 with 2 specific 040 boards:
Firecracker and GVP.  Both are known to have a buggy 040 interface,
under ADOS you would correct it using (a special) setpatch.
