Using the 0.6 serial image worked for me (the 0.61 image died the same as
the STI).  I did try removing what is the only addon card in the box, but it
looks more like cache than video.  It didn't help the 0.61 image.

The output regarding ramdisks is different on 0.6:

INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
Setting up /tmp ramdisk4096+0 records in
4096+0 records out

Then it gives me the login prompt.  On 0.61, it would go:

INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
Setting up /tmp and /var/log ramdisks

and reboot.  So something is different regarding ramdisks (or perhaps mkfs)
on 0.61 vs 0.60.

Thanks for the help.
