[iPAQ] bootldr flash erase error

I am trying to load the parrot.bin bootldr back onto
my ipaq. (I'm selling it so I can upgrade:) )

When I load the bootldr I am getting the following
error:
boot> load bootldr
partition bootldr is a bootldr partition:
 requiring a bootldr or parrot image.
 After receiving file, will automatically uncompress
.gz images

I tried manually unprotecting the flash first with:
boot> pflash 0x40000 0xffff 0
  addr=00040000
  len=0000FFFF
  protect=00000000
status=00AA00AA
Protect=00000000

but I still get the same error when loading the
original bootldr.

Here is my current bootldr version:
boot> ver

I even tried upgrading it, but get the same erase
error. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron
