Not possible to fix as far as I understand it. We've had to put down a 
small DataFlash which then boots from NAND.

Turns out we needed DataFlash anyway as the Atmel boot ROM is not 
compatible with newer NANDs (newer NANDs no longer guarantee block 0 
without ECC and the Atmel boot ROM doesn't support ECC).
