OSX OpenMoko Flasher trying to flash wrong partition (was: Re: [FDOM] new release 20080927)

[Peter Neubauer]

Ahh,
using the command line dfu-util unstead of the MacOS OpneMoko-Flasher
I could start flashing. It seems that pointing out the FDOM download
location lists the .jffs as a RootFS, but the the FreeRunner is
reporting it is flashing to the partition "factory".

It seems the graphical frontend is becoming too outdated to be used anymore ...

Hope that helps others ...
