Don't do that. If you drop boot.tbxi and use loader directly then you 
won't get any output from the loader on the console unless you drop into 
the OF first. I've spend quite some few days ago until I've figured it out.

Also, on some machines boot-command should be left at mac-boot, as 
setting it to just "boot" results in boot failure (black screen and no 
progress whatsoever).
