In my version of the firmware, there is actually no flashwrite anywhere on the flash fs but the mtd kernel module is there.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/7 Ralph Siemsen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ralphs@netwinder.org">ralphs@netwinder.org</a>></span><br>

</div>It is included in the firmware, and you can access it as follows:<br>
<br>
Interrupt the firware at "Press any key to abort autoboot" prompt,<br>
then type the command "shell" to get a shell. At this point,<br>
you will be running the old 2.4.0 kernel, and the appropriate<br>
flash module will be loaded. The flashwrite program is<br>
available in /bin as well.<br>
<br>
The only thing missing is the new firmware image, which you<br>
presumably have saved on the hard disk previously. To access<br>
the disk, mount it with "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" for example.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>

PS. changing the RAM on the 3100 is risky - even if the firmware<br>
upgrade succeeds, it may not run with the new RAM. In that case<br>
you have no way to flash it back. You can only keep trying different<br>
RAM modules in hopes that one of them works... all of this is<br>
an unfortunate side-effect of how Transmeta processors work...<br>
