Definitely.

I ended up mounting the recovery file system on a Linux box then following the recovery script manually (it involves formatting the system and user partitions, then decompressing a file to each file system). That seemed to be a lot safer than messing around with the bootloader.
Yes, that's a good idea and I tried it the first time I messed up my Glo. But, I messed up used an image and another card to get it working. Once I knew I had a working card, I played a bit more on the original card to see what I did wrong. I ended up using the image again, but it was a good learning experience.
