As mentioned already, there's probably a DRAM error someplace causing
the hang on "booting..."

Think I should also state, I'm getting a 0xE7 postcode either during
DRAM Verify or DRAM Test.  Other then this, I get the usual 0x80 before
and 0x80 at "Jumping to LinuxBIOS..."

Are there any debugging methods I can try during DRAM verify/tests?

I see something pertaining to prink_debug but it's not being provided by
console.c in auto.c, requires another include or something.

I'll go back to the tyan/s1846 profile and see if I get the same
results.
