Ken had the Plan A recovery just right, but it didn't work. We walked two
people through this on IRC yesterday, and Plan A worked once and once we had
to go to Plan B.

Plan B: when eflash fails, but flash contents is FFFFFFFF (erased)

        set noerase 1
        load bootldr
then xmodem transfer the bootldr
