So, basically, I must stop the startup sequence at a point where I can gain access to the Redboot prompt. Then issue the commands you suggested, right?
Questions: 1. where do I find/how can I generate such a kernel? 2. what happens to my device after doing this test? Will it revert to normal after a power-cycle or do those command overwrite the flash/disk somehow?
