I get the same. (well thought it was code 2)
Mike Smith and I have talked about it and couldn't immediately think of
which commit could have broken the loader.
At the loader 10 sec count down, do:
unload
load kernel.old
boot
This works for me. Seems unloading and reloading a kernel "fixes" the
problem. Sometimes I am even able to load "kernel" after the unload and
have it boot.
