IS NEO1973 dead?

[Tilman Baumann]

I think all informations on
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD#Boot_from_SDHC is right.

Every thing else on bootloaders should probably be read carefull.
I did not find any discrepancies though. Maybe everything is correct again.
Sometimes you just need to guess that a wiki page has a version of this
page for gta01. (like the how to flash page)
