RE: [iPAQ] 3850: 3 issues before I taste the water.

Follow the installation instructions at
http://familiar.handhelds.org/familiar/releases/v0.5.1/install/H3800/ins
tall.html, but substitute the file: task-bootstrap-2.4.17-rmk4_hh2.jffs2
for the one in the instructions.

If the bootldr command 'partition show' includes a partition named
asset, then 'load root' will not overwrite the asset partition. If it
does not, then send us email to that effect and do not install linux.
