Note: You may have to type something every 5 .. 10 seconds to keep the menu from timing out - space usually works.
When that selection is made, your PC's automation should auto-mount it and open a file manager (just as if it where normal).
Delete the update file(s) - you probably have both a *.bin and a *.stgz (or something like that).
Add the: "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE" flag filename to visible root.
With file manager: "eject"
Remove USB cord
With the Recovery Menu - "Exit" or "Reboot" or whatever it is named.
It it doesn't restart, restart it with the power button, wait.
You can watch what is happening on the serial port - it **might** loop, trying to write an erase block, error, map-out, try again - - - etc.
And eventually run (even with the mis-matched kernel / kernel-modules.

For others reading this in the future, to mount from recovery the option is "E. Export FAT partition"
In the root folder I deleted the .bin file, but did not see any others (only Folders). I copied both the document and system folder, then added the empty DO_FACTORY_RESTORE file. On reboot the Software Update screen was no longer there, but the default tree pic took it's place.
I will hopefully find some time tonight to attempt #2 from above and report back.
