Thanks.

Two comments:
- The load_image routine (and consequently imload commad) will not work 
when the image is stored in Data Flash.
- The code as-is will clearly not work with the new image format -- how 
about we wait a few days for the new format patchset I've mentioned in 
my previous email today? Note that the patchset will have a routine that 
you could use to deal with the Data Flash scenario.

Bartlomiej
