Well, I've dblckd the md5sums and extracted the .bin. Flasher didn't want to flash just the xloader. Passed the path for each part of the .bin to flasher and get this

[root@localhost Desktop]# ./flasher-3.0 -k /home/ruby/Desktop/zImage -n initfs.jffs2 -r rootfs.jffs2 -x xloader.bin-RX-34\:1301\,1302\,1501\,1502\,1503\,1504\,1601\,1602 -s 2nd.bin-RX-34\:1301\,1302\,1501\,1502\,1503\,1504\,1601\,1602 -f -Rflasher v0.8.7 (Oct 17 2006)
