I presume you mean 2.16 as generated by:

void
print_banner(void)
{

        printf("\n");
        printf(">> %s, Revision %s\n", bootprog_name, bootprog_rev);
        printf(">> (%s, %s)\n", bootprog_maker, bootprog_date);
        printf(">> Memory: %d/%d k\n", getbasemem(), getextmem());
}

Which is helpful - because it has actually got into the C code...
Do you see all of that message?

1024 is often 1023 - but that shouldn't matter.

Nothing complicated...

As expected...

The :0( would be the disk size - but the kernel fix isn't in yet...
The ,2 shows that LBA reads are supported - but that probably doesn't matter.
