Firmware was the issue. I mounted the MSDOS partition of the latest = RPI-B snapshot, replaced bootcode.bin, fixup.dat, fixup_cd.dat, = start.elf and start_cd.elf from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware = <https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware> and the Zero booted right up = into multi-user mode. It didn=E2=80=99t seem to mind that the DTB was = for the RPI-B.
