| Andy,

It just starts him up in NOR U-Boot instead of NAND.  The guy didn't
mention NOR, it can be he trashed the NAND U-Boot during meddling with
Debian and he will be able to recover via NOR if that's the case.

I found on some devices with various vintages of NOR U-Boot and / or
trouble you need to do that particular sequence to get it to start, so I
described it in detail just in case.
