---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 The following issues exist with the NAND partition support in Q2E12 and
 earlier:

 a) The partition numbering is off by 1 in some cases, due to the treatment
 of the RedBoot "FIS directory" entry as a partition.  If you say
 "partition: 1" in a NAND update script, it refers to the FIS directory
 "partition" instead of the one you probably intended.

 b) There is no easy way to test NAND update scripts without first signing
 them.  The sequence of Forth commands to do so is too cumbersome to use.
