The bootloader on the FRITZ!Box 7412 crashes when flashing images. Thus
the AVM recovery tool uses another approach: It uses the bootloader to
load a small linux system into the ram and boot it from there. This
system will then flash the image.
This script mimics the behavior: It loads an openwrt initramfs image.
After this a sysupgrade can be done to persistently install openwrt.
