I’m not sure about how `loadu` works, but it’s only reasonable to use to pass information that would fit inside the measily amount of RAM the N416 has. Good for kernels to boot from USB, bad for larger storage.

I think if you’re at a point where the kernel is happy, the next step is to use `dd` to copy an image from an SD card into mtdblock0p6.

I got myself a Kobo Mini for dev work now, but before I sit down to play with it I’ll try and see what you’d need to do with the data on the recorveey SD card to wipe the “onboard” parition.
