I done messed up! Lost uboot partition. (4 replies)

Well...

I dusted-off my Goflex Home about a month ago. Got everything up and running via a USB drive. It is currently booted via USB running Debian. It didn't have enough RAM to run OMV very well, so I bought a Goflex Net. I was trying to get uboot updated via TFTP. I loaded the uboot image correctly to offset 0x640000 , but apparently reversed the nand write parameters, and tried to write the current uboot to 0x6400000, instead of the other way around. I started with nand erase 0x0 0x80000 .

After my first blunder, I figured I'd reboot and start over, forgetting that the current uboot is bad. I have tried kwboot, but I get "xmodem: Bad message". My main question is: Is using kwboot an exercise in futility at this point? Is it even possible to boot over serial without a working uboot?

If it is possible, then my second question is: What settings do I need to run it?

I have tried both with and without '-p' . I have tried specifying a baud rate of 115200, and tried not specifying any baud rate. I am using Bohdi's image from the first sticky.
