Yes, as long as you can flash the installer firmware, you're golden. I may be getting my embedded bootloaders mixed up, but I think the slug has a boot time firmware load capability. If not, you may need a serial console to talk to the boot loader and convince it to take a new firmware, if the initrd has corrupted due to the partial write. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
