it's probably safe to assume the ROM has loaded the kernel
(it usually moans if not), so your problem most likely is that
the kernel is failing after it is started by the ROM but before
it has mapped the screen.  it's probably crashing while mapping
or accessing the screen.

the banks of memory needn't be the same.  on your machine,
it will use the 16 from the first bank and 4 from the second.
it will ignore the third bank.

the initial hex numbers are printed by the ROM, so they
don't say much about plan 9's state once started.
