For those who have the problem:

To flash the bootloader, you have to supply the X-Loader image
Some early protos have smaller MMC's (e.g. 16G) so forcing the hw revision in this case won't work well, since newer hw revisions are 32G, and flashing a 16G device as if it were 32G will mess up the partitions

A better approach is to skip the bootloader when flashing the fiasco image:

flasher-3.5 --flash-only=kernel,rootfs -F <fiasco> -f
