Thank you both!
In the last episode I managed (with some help) to connect the kindle to the pc... but my brain must have gotten disconnected in the process
What we were looking at was the output after a "normal boot"
I just had to keep holding the power switch a little longer (I got fooled by the blinking led) and this is the output after a "hard reset"
Code:
U-Boot 1.3.0-rc3-lab126 (Feb 5 2011 - 19:03:59)
CPU: Freescale i.MX35 at 532 MHz
Board: MX35 Luigi [ POR]
WDOG_WCR = 0xff31
WDOG_WMCR = 0x0
Board Id: SP1B000000000000
S/N: B008XXXXXXXXXXXX
DRAM: 256 MB
Using default environment
In: serial
Out: serial
Err: serial
No ethernet found.
i.MX35 CPU board version 2.0
Net: No ethernet found.
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

Now if I understand correctly I should hit enter to access the recovery menu then select 3 and then enter my fiona password (
that should be obtainable with md5sum -s=S/N and cutting off 3 or 4 digits Wrong! Working on it.), etc.
Ok, one step at a time...
back to studying and experimenting and let's hope my brain is connected this time around (finger crossed
)
All jokes aside I'm really sorry to have wasted your time.

Nothing. That is called "being human" I guess?

That sounds cool but... happy? I'm not sure
...and, might I add, the most unlikely part of what you've written is me sitting in a lotus position
I'm so rigid sometimes I think I'm dead and I didn't noticed yet
