This might, or might not be relevant for you.

I had problems with the 1.2 boot, as well as xxboot on my 3500. It turned
out to be a problem in the CPU identification code in the system, so that
it halted immediately instead of running. The problem is not in the system
itself, so using a hacked version of boot and xxboot, everything works
fine.

More specifically, the problem of identifying the system correctly causes
the standalone programs to use the wrong method to write to my console.
