[SerialICE] an idea

FYI, I don't know if this helps but on the RM4100 original bios there is 
a small flash utility built in. We have discovered that we can access 
this through the memory hole and flash the bios via serial (but the bios 
image still needs to be on the drive).

This would be very cool indeed. So you mean, it would stop at raminit, 
hand control over to user to manually enter raminit, and then continue on?

BY FAR, the best bios unvaler I have ever seen :-)
