Pre-Flash backup of rootfs failure (new kind)

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Have looked at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Pre-Flash_Backup and tried to do
full backup of rootfs -- it kept flooding the file with 0xFF after some moment.

I killed it at size of 200M

apparently I was in NOR flash with u-boot 1.3.2-moko12 from May 9th

and on my box cmd line looked like

*$> sudo buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/tools/dfu-util  -a rootfs -R -U backups/20080728/rootfs.bin
