The following works for me on my Freerunner (bought December 2008), 
which I have ran completely dry on a number of occasions:

* Unplug FR from wall charger or cable from computer USB port
* If the red AUX light is flashing, take out the battery and put it back 
in after about 10 seconds (amount of seconds is arbitrary).
* Press and HOLD IN AUX while you plug in wall carger (not USB cable to 
a computer).
* FR should now boot to u-boot menu, where you can then select which way 
to boot.
