Re: URGENT! bootloader help needed

run:

peek flash 0
        desired result: EA00008E

and

peek flash 0x20
        desired result: 6464C7462

If those match, just reset the ipaq and protect when you get back into
the bootloader.

If they don't match:

set override 1
eflash 0
        if this last command fails, do:
        set noerase 1

Then:

load bootldr

and try the xmodem transfer of the bootloader again and start back at
the beginning.
