Scott -

To help diagnose the problem you're having with getting the OS image 
onto the NAND FLASH, I've written a NAND image checker.  It compares 
what is on the NAND FLASH with the disk file.

I'm going to add this function to an upcoming firmware build, but for 
now you can load it manually.

To use it, put that file onto a USB key, and

 ok  fload disk:\chknand.fth
 ok  verify-nand disk:\boot\nand285.img

I'm going to write a block-by-block USB disk image verifier too.  Stay 
tuned.

Mitch
