I think the forth boot block has /ofwboot had coded:

boot-args ascii D strchr 0= swap drop  if
    " /ofwboot" do-boot
then  exit

I always had good luck with newer ofwboot loading old kernels, we keep
them compatible.

I would expect the old ofwboot to work too, the error looks more like
a root partition size issue - how big is your / and what inodes do
the working and the non working kernel have?
