"boot device" is actually the initrd - there's a cut & paste bug in my
olpc.fth that does

" ${DN}${PN}\olpcrd.img" to ramdisk

...instead of 

" ${DN}${PN}\initrd.img" to ramdisk

I've fixed this in git and will publish a new build overnight.

But this error should not prevent boot for NAND installs, as the
kernel has jffs2 compiled in.  So I'm not sure why you're seeing a
hang.

I've been booting from a USB drive (not NAND), and usb drivers are
modular so the initrd is really required.  In the forthcoming build
I've also added "rootwait" so that the LABEL=OLPCRoot argument can be
used effectively in this case.

I will also test the SD behaviour later but would appreciate any
feedback on that.

Thanks for trying this out.
