I had a look at jeff doozan's enhanced uboot installer script.
I look like it replaces the original uboot on mtd0, is that correct ?

While openwrt is using original uboot to start another version so that if
you screw up you still have the original one to get things working again
without need for jtag.

Just noticed: I've used the old method from that page, that replaces /dev/mtd3
and chainloads the bootloader.
But as Doozans bootloaders should be well tested now installation on mtd0
shouldn't be a problem.

I've been using Doozan mtd0 uboot for months now without problems. As far as I can see the only risk is a power lost during the the loading of the new boot. Then you would need jtag to recover from this. I've reinstalled it several times (>10) without problems; Haven't tripped over the power cord during reinstall yet!
