I have three problems with the new bootloader:

1.) It doesn't seem to overwrite the kernel-compiled in CMDLINE.
Although the bootloader tells me it passes the right arguments, the
kernel still uses the CMDLINE compiled via .config. Why is this so?

2.) Are you sure the bootloader uses the proper erasesize when eraseing
the flash partition? For the SIMpad this is 0x20000 IIRC.

3.) The bootloader doesn't write images > 16MB-256K to flash.

Other than that, it looks pretty good. However I consider these three
problems as showstoppers :D
