Support for RTL838x based managed switches

I just got hold of a GS1900-8HP v3. Serial connection is identical layout to the v1 & v2 (no surprise).
Boot log doesn't have much so wondering what to try? I'm a total novice at uart other that flashing my BT HH5!
Is it safe for me to try TFTP booting a V2 initramfs image, for example, with bootm?
Or anything interesting I can get from the uboot/stock CLI for people to look at?
