Topic: Bootloader corrupt?

Hello, fellow Chumby users/hackers
I have tried installing the stock 1.2 firmware onto my Chumby and something went wrong. I have flushed some custom kernel images a couple of times previously without a problem (all compiled from the 1.2 tarball, managed to mount ReiserFS and run a Debian chroot). Maybe it was a bad Fat16 on my USB flash drive, a power glitch, or really wrong firmware for the wrong HW version, but the end result is the same: the device can no longer boot up. A black screen is all there is. Could anyone suggest a way of re-flushing the NAND flash, is this even something doable on my kitchen table?

Hopefully that helps! In short, yes, it can be done with just a serial port and a linux computer.
