The getbootstate malfunction is expected as there is no support for it yet in 
mainline. But you should get to shell without that.

You could hack the startup script to spawn a getty on ttyS2. This should get you 
to shell.

so in /sbin/preinit, in start_shell()

-/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0 -n -l /bin/sh
+/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS2 -n -l /bin/sh

cheers,
