Thanks alot.

I was indeed booting from NOR (which was indicated in the boot menu,
by the way, but I didn't notice).

I booted from NAND (following
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting#Log_into_U-Boot_in_the_NAND_Flash),
and this time, it's OK, displaying "(Aug 4 2008 -
02:33:52)0cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb" at top of screen ! :-)

And connecting through USB console, I get :

GTA02v5 # version

U-Boot 1.3.2+gitr18+64eb10cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb (Aug  4 2008 - 02:33:52)

Great, I know now in which order to press buttons on the FR ;-)

Thanks alot again.
