save-nand problem

[Kim Quirk]

Juliano,
Actually, Bernie ran the crcimg command for me but I was looking over his
shoulder and didn't see any error message. He ran it with the nand image I
provided and then I was able to successfully install this new image on a
laptop.

Bernie - do you know anything about this error message?

Thanks,
Kim
