Yes, probably.  You apparently didn't disable-security, and so by
flashing debxo you erased the developer key you had on the NAND flash.

Here is what you should do now:

1.  put the develop.sig on a USB key again, in a security/ directory, as
described in the Wiki page for Developer Keys,

2.  put the USB key in the XO, and power up, you should get the
OpenFirmware messages, at which you press ESC, and get the ok
prompt,

3.  type disable-security and press ENTER, there will be a power cycle,

4.  press ESC again to cancel the automatic boot,

5.  type disable-security and press ENTER.
