 it's a hypothesis that needs testing.

 it was frans i believe who first did the dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1
of=/tmp/foo dump, the entire contents of which will have to be put
into *exactly* the right place (exactly the same position) so i
recommend a 2gb SD card for this, exactly the same size as the Sandisk
NAND drive.

so, jon, if you want to help trying that, it's utterly simple, and
you... hey, actually, you could probably just copy the entire NAND
onto the SDcard in _your_ machine: dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/mmcblk1

make DAMN sure that's the right way round :)
