RE: iPaq - Familiar 0.4 Install

Kevin,
 
Follow the instructions at step 14 at
<ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/compaq/ipaq/v0.20/install.html>
ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/compaq/ipaq/v0.20/install.html, copied
below:
* 14: At this point, the new bootldr is installed in flash. You
can spot check the bootldr installation before rebooting by executing
the command peek flash 0x0, which should print EA00008E. Also check peek
flash 0x20, which should print 646C7462. If either of these prints
FFFFFFFF, then the bootldr is erased. Be very careful. Do not reset the
unit. Do not power cycle it. Make sure it is plugged in. Reload the
bootldr. If there are any error messages email ipaq@handhelds.org or use
IRC to connect to irc.openprojects.net channel #ipaq or #handhelds.org
for assistance.
 
If the spot check does not yield the correct results, then reload the
bootldr and try again. The pflash step is no longer necessary, if you
are using bootldr 2.14.8 or later. Do not use anything older than that
version.

I am following the instructions laid out or your website but I am having
trouble protecting the bootldr flash sector. When I send the command
'qflash 0' I get a result back of all '0'.
 
I hope that you can help me with this problem...
