Can't boot target?

I am trying to learn how to use qplus but have not had any success
booting my target system. The devel system is a RedHat 8.0 system.
The target is a generic 100MHz Pentium with 48MB memory, a video
card, 3c509 network card, and floppy.
The build seems to proceed cleanly. I am trying to deploy using an initrd
as the root file system. Etherboot (5.2.2) boots (from a floppy),
gets an ip address, and
the qplusp.etherboot filename. It then transfers the file  (or seems to).

I get the following output on the video console and then the target system
just dies.

<millions of dots deleted>..............................
........................................done
mknbi-1.4.3/first32.c (GPL)
Top of ramdisk is 0x03000000
Ramdisk at 0x02D4F000, size 0x002B1000

At this point it just stops forever. It doesn't execute the boot file and 
is just
dead.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped.
