That's very interesting.  Once you have a dev key, can you ask OFW
what's actually in nand:\security\lease.sig?  Does it look reasonable?
 It is writable?

If you could also note the "mounting XYZ on /mnt options that are
tried; the process should look like this:
 * try /dev/mmcblk0p1 (partitioned SD card)
 * /dev/mmcblk0 (unpartitioned SD card)
 * /dev/sdX for X in ['a1','a','b1','b','c1','c','b1','b','a1','a']
(we expect /dev/sda1 to work, so we try it again at the end in case
the USB disk just took a while to be recognized)
 * wireless on channels 1, 6, 11, 1, 6, 11

If it doesn't make it all the way through this process, then what it
likely happening is that it is successfully finding the lease and then
failing to write it to NAND.  So knowing how far it gets through this
is useful.
