I hadn't tried it, but I just did, and that doesn't work either. I think it
crashes before the PPC ROM code has even initialised. I think you keep the
PPC board enabled during flashing - it would be logical, otherwise, how does
the flasher know the PPC is there to update? :-)

Yep, and it don't work either, so it's a DCE job, then :-((((
