OK sorry for the delay.  I've dug up a 2100.  Firmware revision kn01
v7.0, 16MB, mono, 1 rz23 disk.  It works fine with the kernel I have
up for ftp (and have had there since Mar 12th or so).

As Ted suggested, make sure that you're looking at the proper console
device, your problem could be caused by the system sending output to a
serial console.  To do this, set your console variable, init, and
boot.  In most cases, seting your console to 0 should work if you want
to use the graphics console, so you'd do:

>> setenv console 0
>> init
....
>> boot -f tftp()


BTW, if the output going to a serial console is the problem, you
should be seeing a message on the graphics screen like:

Using PROM serial output until serial drivers initialized
