Nice idea, but as you say, it only covers failure to load an image
not failure to boot, start, and successfully find tetris (which is what I want).
At some point after my new linux image is up and running I want it to set some
kind of flag in flash that informs Redboot that the image should be regarded as
suitable for booting in future.
If Redboot sees that flag is not set then it will fallback to booting the
second linux image.
