What are the console settings?
It might be that you've lost the serial console, everything up to the
point you've mentioned is likely to be using bios calls - which work.

The serial console parameters are in a patchable header in the bootcode
(the copy in bootxx_ffsv1 wiill be the one that is used).

The system might even be coming up far enough to let you login remotely!
