Comment:

 Fixed in [http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/openfirmware/changeset/2488 svn
 2488] which uses the storage LED to indicate write in progress, and adds
 screen icons on the bottom left; a laptop and an ellipsis ...

 Test case:
  * install q4b08jb from http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/q408jb.rom, or later,
 which bundles EC firmware 0.2.03,
  * download and flash-ec EC firmware 0.2.02 (cl2-4_0_2_02.img), or a prior
 general release version that is earlier than the version bundled with the
 version of OpenFirmware you are using.

 Expected outcome: storage LED will glow during flash-ec, unit will reboot,
 then OpenFirmware will reflash to 0.2.03, during which the screen shall
 show icons on bottom left, and storage LED will glow, then unit will
 reboot again.
