I'd love to, but I'm not at home for the moment. I can do it tomorrow if you 
like. I'll also experiment with the key-combinations, but from earlier 
experience I think only Fn+Shift won't do very much on my model.

Strange. I've always booted from SD with a 2.6-kernel with Fn+Shift+Ctrl 
without any problems.
On the Letux 400, it appears to be sufficient to press just 2 keys:

Fn + Left Shift.

Can you check if it works on your model as well?

And, can you try to extract the 2.4 kernel binary from /dev/mtd1

I could try to extract it from the recovery file but that appears to
be much more complicated that copying the binary from a
working device. I would then check if I can copy it to the NAND.

If that works, I would suggest that we could change the description
of the boot procedure to just use these two keys and NEVER
press Ctrl together (it is so easy to do with one finger)...

Things will change if we have our own lenny based minifs/recovery
tool.

BR,
Nikolaus
