Hi Steven,

Now this is getting interesting.

Using version 1.2.1-23 in loading of the image. Using only the options  
'-j1' and 'j0' work. However, if I included
the options '-t1' the system will not boot (with version 1.2.1-17). I  
don't know if that would be different with version 1.2.1-23.

Steve
