Install U-boot on usb-stick? (9 replies)

Hello folks

I've been reading a lot of tutorials about how to install u-boot on the pogoplug. I now have Archlinux installed on a USB-stick following these instructions, provided by Moonman and probably known to the most of you:
Install Alarm

Basically I have everything set up the way I want to, except for Netconsole. For that I need to update U-boot, as explained on this page:


I do have a question though: my Pogoplug only boots with the USB-stick (due to a power failure I had recently), so without it does not boot anymore (green led does not turn on).

Does this mean that the U-boot is installed on the USB-stick itself?
Can I update U-boot according to the instructions I found on the above URL, with the USB-stick plugged in? The installer wants to install U-boot on /dev/mtd0, which I believe is not mounted in my current config.

Will I brick my installation if I try to update U-boot via this way?
