This is ok for development, but not ok for in field upgrades by
customers/installation people. Do you want me to teach my customers
how to run a RAM copy of redboot so that they can then upgrade the ROM
copy? I think not. Customers need something simple like. Boot the
system as normal, TFTP put this image and press the reset button.
