As I understand it the Rebel.com production facility uses JTAG boundary scan 
to inject the first stage boot code into the boards, and you can use the same 
technique to rescue a broken machine after a botched firmware update.  But 
it's desperately slow - you wouldn't want to program an entire 8Mb device that 
way, at least not more than once.  If you were replacing the chips by hand and 
only dealing with a few boards, you'd probably do better to program the chips 
before soldering them down.
