Oops.  It appears that there was an error downloading the base system
via http.  It wanted a larger file than was on the server, and I
didn't see the error message.

I moved everything to a local nfs server, and the base system
installed properly, including quik, so that wasn't the problem.

Now when I boot I get:

copying OF device tree...done
Initing fake screen
DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FF00300 at   %SRR0: 00201008   %SRR1: 00003070

Any ideas?
