If you are currently running osloader (I hope you are following the
instructions at
ftp://handhelds.org/pub/linux/compaq/ipaq/v0.20/install.html) you have to
reboot before you can protect the flash as the pflash command in osloader
does not work.  The instructions direct you to reboot.  If you have just
uploaded bootloader 2.14.8 feel free to check the protection but it
should be automatic.  If you loaded 2.14.5, you can protect the flash
after rebooting.  Use the little button on the bottom to reset.
