I have not had all that much experience with 2.x PROMs but 3.x PROMS have
a variable called `fcode-debug?' that tells the PROM not to discard the
bootloader's symbols and a built in fcode debugger.  You can try setting
`fcode-debug?' doing a `reset-all' then `debug boot' and trying to boot.
You can also try the `-D' `-v' and `-V' flags to see if they cause the
PROM to print out any additional information.

Finally, make sure your devaliases are correct and don't have some strange
`/packages/...' in them.
