  My first thought was perhaps the bootstrap was using a PROM routine
which wasn't working correctly in the older PROM.

  My Maxine with a 2.0g PROM (which I presume would be older than
your 2.0m) boots OK.  [I suppose it could be possible that something
in 2.0m might have been broken between 2.0g and 2.0m and later fixed.]
