[ts-7000] TS7250 Off-board serial device not detected on *cold* boot

I have a custom built board with 16550 UART on it.  In general it
works great, but it isn't always detected by the TS7250 on cold boot.
 During a warm boot it is detected just fine.  On a cold boot tf I
stop the redboot and do a reset a three or four times COM4 will
eventually be detected.


At Cold boot I get this output:
>> Off-board serial at: COM3

On a warm boot I get this output:
>> Off-board serial at: COM3 COM4

I've pasted the complete boot logs below.

My questions are: 

1.  Has anyone seen any serial devices that behave this way?

2.  If it is a timing issue, where would I find the code that controls
the initial boot process?  Is this redboot code or firmware from
Technologic Systems?

Thanks,

Tom Johnson
