I'm booted to SD as I post this.
...the worst that will happen is I will need to redo the initfs_flash.
Just a note.. this is the reason in my steps posted previously that I decided to upgrade the SD first...

While reloading the bootmenu is a minimal problem - having to do it twice is just an annoyance. If you install to SD first; wipe your boot menu; you'll boot into flash. Then install in flash (before fixing boot menu) .. tablet reboots and you're still in flash.

Then you fix the boot menu.. and both SD and Flash are updated with only one bootmenu fix. If you do it the other way (flash first).. you end up fixing boot menu after flash to boot to sd.. then fixing bootmenu after SD to get back into SD.
