Pogoplug Biz - Accidentally Flashed Marvell UInitrd and uImage to NAND (5 replies)

OK let me start off by saying DUH! I don't know how I did it but I accidentally flashed MARVELL stage 1 boot files to my OXNAS device. So from a JTAG console I can see it trying to boot the kernel but it fails because of my obvious FUBAR. I have tried to follow the forum threads about how to load a new uboot but that works at a higher level than what I am able to access my device at in it's current state. I know I can resurrect it because I have JTAG with prompt through Putty but I am unsure what commands to issue and what files to load on a USB drive or SATA disk (I have both available for use) in order to re-flash the NAND and get the proper files into NAND so that I can boot the proper kernel.

To give you a point of reference, what I think I need to do is something similar to loading Debian on a Sheevaplug (which I have done on my Sheevaplug) following this guide: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install/. I know I cant install Debian on OXNAS this way because the official Debian installer only works on Kirkwood devices like the Sheevaplug, Dreamplug and Guruplug - and TTBOMK, it wont work on Pogoplugs. However, with that as a reference and from doing a help listing of available commands at the low level OXNAS prompt on the Biz, I see the same commands available to load uinitrd and uimage but I wasnt sure if I needed to tweak the actual command line input for the Biz. And beyond loading uinitrd and uimage, what is the next instruction I need to call to actually load the kernel.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
