The commands in the bootldr are:
To copy from vfat to flash partition:
copy hda1:filename root
To copy from flash partition to vfat:
copy root hda1:filename
I think both directions work in 2.18.43. Copying from vfat to flash was working in 2.18.41 but broke in 2.18.42. Copying from flash to vfat started working in 2.18.42.
