[E3-hacking] pbltool problem

[Edward Robbins]

Hmmm... so now I'm having trouble installing to NAND. I've done it 4
times so far using different USB drives. I get a couple of messages
about bad blocks, and then when u-boot starts I get:

Loading from device 0: <NULL> at 0x8000000 (offset 0x0)

Has anyone else had this problem? Sorry for the torrent of emails!
