loss Android boot from nand

[Robert Moskowitz]

I read somewhere that with the Cubieboard, if no rootfs on an sd card, 
it boots android from nand.

Well it is NOT doing that.  The screen is flashing something and nothing 
is happening.

How do I get my android boot back?

This seems to be a known problem with some vague instructions on how to 
get duo boot to work:

Probably I will build a Android SD for now.

Correct, it should.

You have re-flashed your nand with a newer Android image already? eg:

How do I reflash it while booted in F20?

Using a PC running Fedora20, you might try LiveSuit:

So perhaps this is a piece of the puzzle that is not stated anywhere, 
that you need your system running LiveSuit to have a serial connection 
to your ARM box.

Just the connection and LiveSuit 'knows' to use it?

I can't figure out this documentation.  It ASSuMEs a lot.
