You might have one of the machines where the driver doesn't work. 
can you please connect a serial terminal (or a 2nd computer with a terminal
emulation program) to the serial port, at 9600 bps, 8n1, and check it for

If you you insist:

- cd /sys/arch/amiga/stand/bootblock/boot/
- vi main.c
change the option string to what you want it to be
- make && make install

shutdown now
in single-user-mode:

cd /usr/mdec
installboot xxboot /dev/rsd0a (assuming your root partition is there)
