@tonyyng, all good. I'll try and be a bit more responsive to e-mails for the next week or two.
@nicke, I know better about the solder pads but thanks. Looks like I'm on the same version (enjoy my MAC
):
Code:

The key combo I don't actually know yet, but I assume there's one for recovering from SD. I believe some "two fingers plus table salute" gets it booting from USB.
Back to `nickel` crashing though, you might be right that the lack of "/mnt/onboard" is the problem. I wasn't thinking *terribly hard* this evening and was trying to have `nickel` crash on purpose by moving everything from "/mnt/onboard" to "/mnt/sd" with an SD card plugged in. This is not smart as I can only log in when Nickel is running and I choose to make a Bluetooth connection to my machine. XD
It should be possible to copy everything you'd find in "/mnt/onboard" to the root of an SD card that's formatted as "fat" and just adjust this in line "/etc/init.d/rcS":
Code:
/bin/mount -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/mtdblock6 /mnt/onboard
to be
Code:
/bin/mount -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/onboard
That would get you all the way home assuming you have an SD card to sacrifice to the cause.
Other option is that you could try reformatting "/dev/mtdblock6" as fat with `mkdosfs` and copy the data there instead.
