I think this is a divide by zero error when it tries to jump into the
etherboot payload. Etherboot has a bug which I've mentioned before. It
tries to use some timer machinery before it has been initialized.
Edit src/timer.c of etherboot, in the function currticks you want:

BTW if this fixed your problem I'm a miracle worker.
