 622+623 q2d02+q2d03 B4.
 Upgrading from 622 to 623 on q2d03 hangs, dropping you in an ok prompt.
 But q2d02 works.

 Given 622/q2d02, and a usb of 623/q2d02, factory install (square key cheat
 code) works as expected.

 Given 622/q2d03, and a sub of 623/q2d03, instead one gets:
  DO NOT REMOVE USB KEY UNTIL ACTIVATION IS COMPLETE.

  boot-device = nand:\boot\olpc.fth
  Boot device: /nandflash:\boot\olpc.fth  Arguments:
  fffffffe Type 'help' for more information.

  ok

 Entering 'boot' yields the same
  Boot device: /nandflash:\boot\olpc.fth  Arguments:
  fffffffe
  ok

 I replicated both success and failure.

 Once power cycled, the boot seems to proceed normally.  I only did
 ''factory install'', and didn't test the usual "upgrade while preserving
 the user's work".
