Is there a command to trigger "reboot + installation of recovery packages"? Would that work even in cases where UYK is gray?

I see that full/recovery update*.bin files contain uboot + main-kernel (uImage).
How/When do they get flashed? From initrd's recovery-util?

If that's the case, one can't create custom "full updates" without editing the initrd, since the keys are hardcoded there, right? Also how does the recovery-util know it's supposed to flash the update. Is there a flag file or the like?

And what is the recommended way to flash a new kernel? Can I just use dd from the main system?
