Hi,

I believe that this problem arises due to a logic error in print_message() 
function from second/misc.c, which is called to print the boot banner. It 
supports substitution of some variables like ${ARCH} and ${PROM}, however 
if no such variables are found in the text, it just scans through it and 
breaks out of the loop without printing anything. The attached patch fixes 
the problem by ensuring that the message is printed in the end. It works 
for me, would be great if somebody else could confirm it.

Best regards,
