We figured out the docs are wrong. Set load-base to 640000 and try again.
We hope for 1.5.3 that 600000 will be fine again.

The problem is that your ofwboot.xcf wants to load at 600000, and we
learned after the fact that loading off of a file system won't work if the
program wants to be where load-base is set to.

Take care,
