joyride-1563 broken, olpc.fth missing, fails to boot [FIX]

[James Cameron]

If you do this, and need to fix it, here is how I did it ... only valid
for developer machines without write-protect, of course:

1.  boot into OFW and enable the wireless and telnetd,

	ok essid quozl.linux.org.au
	ok telnetd

(naturally you will use a different essid).

2.  note the IP address and telnet to it from another system,

	% telnet 10.0.0.147

3.  on this other system, obtain a copy of /boot/olpc.fth from build
joyride-1551 and display it on your screen, without any line-wraps,

	rsync \
	rsync://updates.laptop.org/build-joyride-1551/root/boot/olpc.fth \
	.
	cat olpc.fth

4.  cut and paste the FORTH definitions one at a time,

5.  type the last command and press enter,

	ok olpc-fth-boot-me

If you cut and paste this, some letters may not echo, because USB is
turned off at this point, which stops the telnet reasonably quickly.
Your telnet session on the other system will hang.  Not important.

6.  wait for a few seconds, and the Linux kernel boot log should appear,
on the screen of the XO,

7.  on the XO, as root, copy the olpc.fth file from where it is in
/versions to where it should be in the new pristine tree,

8.  reboot, problem solved.
