RC1 boots on both and I have a serial console on both.  I'll dig through
the .img that Crochet builds and see what I can figure out -- it must be
doing something hinky somewhere and best guess is that it's probably the
DOS partition that has something wrong in it.  As far as I can tell the
3B+ doesn't boot at all on the Crochet build (but I can't be sure since
I have no console -- it never does enable the Ethernet port as I never
see the link light come on) but the 3B does boot and come up -- just no
serial.

I suspect there's a bit of pooch-hosing in the Crochet board file or
(more likely) whatever gets into the dos partition.  If I can figure it
out I'll submit a pull request back at the Crochet people to fix it....
holiday might get in the way of me screwing with it for a bit here.
