Ok!

There were changes in handling of bootrom boot message. There is option
-s which can change default timeout option. And plus there is option -a
which sets this timeout option to AXP value.

Default value is 50 and for AXP default value is 1000.

Maybe it is needed to tune AXP value... Try to call with -s option
between 50 and 1000...
