In Config please comment out the line

CFLAGS32+=    -DCONSOLE_DUAL -DCOMCONSOLE=0x3f8 -DCONSPEED=57600

I should make it commented out by default. It probably hangs the machine
if no serial port is present.

floppyload.bin.pre is the preassembled version. Since all the sources
are in src now and there are no symbolic links, it uses a different name.
You should use the README that comes with 4.5, admittedly not all correct
yet.
