[OLPC-devel] you can try this

You should only have to use OLPC_VSA.BIN.  It's the concatenation of
VSAINIT.BIN + SYSMGR.VSM + LEGACY.VSM + SOFTVG.VSM.  I included the
others in case you want to mix-n-match (i.e. remove SOFTVG.VSM).

steve, can you tell me how to cat these together into one file that will
work? Do I put the VSA file first?
