And if you want to update both SD and flash, the best routine seems to be
  1. Boot to SD
  2. Update
  3. When it reboots, it'll come to flash (because no bootmenu)
  4. Update
  5. When it reboots, it'll come to flash again
  6. Install bootmenu.
  7. On reboot, you'll have options as expected...

However, my setup is more complicated than that, and I use Fanoush's package independently, so I'm unable to say I've done exactly that.
This is what I did (using initfs_flasher directly, not bootmenu package) and it worked fine. But it does seem risky:

If the old user space can't work with new kernel and initfs, step 3 will result in non-booting system.
The safest way is to update flash first, so you have lower risk of that.
