I've figured out the commit that caused the breakage. Looks like the
boot Forth changes are pretty bad. The commit that caused the breakage,
as far as I can tell is, r280974. Reverting that and the two commits
above that revision regarding sys/boot/forth allowed me to boot again.

Now the boot screen looks like this: http://imgur.com/I9SVHfT

I can now boot, but as you see, the boot screen's messed up.

Thanks,

Shawn
