The latter version stops when "run load" fails for whatever reasons rendering the combination *a lot* more secure.

Thanks for spotting.
Actually the sequoia part of the patch bit Markus hard preparing for a training. To put the board into a defined state he first erased the environment, reset the board and did a "run upd". Seemed a pretty natural thing to do, but becourse of the erased environment, the tftp failed and because of the ";" u-boot was erased anyway.
The nasty part he only realized at that moment - although he had U-Boot still running, tftp would only work with "ethaddr" set _after_ a reset :(
Oddly enough, a BDI penalty loop reflashing a board reminds me a lot of biathlon...
Cheers Detlev
PS: Yes I know, he could have used serial download or even a USB stick, but we only realized that later.
