Ah. You should not really boot the takeover image. Just flash the
boot_rom.bin. Either from Linux with update_flash -f <filename> or from
SLOF with "update-flash -f net:boot_rom.bin"

The takeover image is a very dirty hack which is only needed on JS20/JS21
to break out of the hypervisor.

I am confused why you are trying to boot the takeover image. To try it
out to see if something is not working? Or because the documentation is
outdated and only describing the steps necessary to boot SLOF on
JS20/JS21 with the original product firmware?
