The story so far...

The Thecus N2100 is a nice little OpenBSD/arm platform. 
Unfortunately 
the currently shipping version has a butchered RedBoot which
ignores the 
startup script in the flash configuration memory and insists
on 
attempting load the default Linux-based system.

I have a dump of the older flash memory with working RedBoot
image 
(thanks Dale) but RedBoot won't flash its own running code.

The only way I can think of replacing the new flash image
with the old 
one is to boot OpenBSD and flash the image once RedBoot is
out of the way.

I don't know if a program exists which can write to the
flash - I guess 
there are special blocking and  timing requirements.

Anyone with any thoughts or alternative ideas?
