Thank you. That was the mistake I had made.
Now, booting from USB stick created from zcat 20090525.bootable.gz
consistently stalls on me subsequent to showing the message " mount:
unknown filesystem type 'jffs2' " and the message " Bug in initramfs
/init detected. Dropping to a shell. Good luck! ". [I repeated
the power-on boot more than 10 times, and it stalled each time.]
[In contrast, when the booting XO from nand (created by 'copy-nand'
from 20090525.img) sequence stalls (typically subsequent to that "
unknown filesytem type 'jffs2' " message having been shown), I often
manage to get past that point by persistently re-trying the power-on
boot sequence over and over - if I'm lucky, I eventually get no
error message and no stall.]
Thanks, mikus
