The current autoinstaller is 385/b87 so its not going to do much on a 
system thats allready at 385/b87.  Are you manually editing the olpc.fth 
file to try and load a later image?

you can load images manually with:

copy-nand disk:/<path/to/imagefile>

So if you have a file nand387.img located in the top level dir / it 
would be:

copy-nand disk:/nand387.img

The current setup require a mesh portal to work. You need an additional 
  box running the mesh portal stuff.  This is a temp solution until we 
work out a few of the thorny issues with mesh bringup.
