Yet another intriguing gem!

"rewrites"? Did you infer that from Seph's post (because that's neither what he said from my limited comprehension nor I doubt what he even "infered"!) OR from someone/somewhere else?

So yes it would seem odd…. but as you know I'm almost as clueless as yourself (perhaps) so what is the boot loader sequence, and in which part of NVRAM does the firmware reside and does the FR simply flip the index into NVRAM to point towards the alternative firmware location, because logic (pun) suggests there's a choice of at least two locations to select from and load into working memory? So is it "re-write" all the firmware, "re-load" different firmware, rewrites the indexes or does "re-write" mean something different in your perceived context?
Just curious…. again……
