No - actually there's no such option in Vivi bootloader. It simply copies root fs image to the card, and I think, it performs the needed erase operations.

I think the problem isn't this, because using 2.4.18-rmk7 kernel, everything works. I think I'll have to examine that code for SMC functions...
