I guess your Mach64 is being used as the console and not Creator.
To find this out, do
boot net console=prom
to see which fb is going to be used.
Kernels prior to yesterday had higher priority for Mach64 than for Creator.
I guess that's your case. What you can do:
either connect a monitor to mach64, or give it something like
boot video=atyfb:off
or use 
boot video=map:1

Cheers,
