I tried a few more things.

I tried ofwboot.xcf from:

	1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.6 1.6.1, and 2.0 snap.

Same behavior.

I also tried a longer delay (5000 ms - about 20 seconds) - same behavior.

The "white screen of death" is the same one OF gives you right before it
prints out its first prompt.  It's almost like ofwboot fails when it
tries to write out its first characters to the console.

I may try setting output to the serial (that does not exist. ;->)

More more ideas?
