[ros-kernel] Freeldr issue

[Jeff Smith]

because of the crash in the setup just as it was going to copy the file
over,  I wasn't able to get it booting.  no freeldr, nothing. I can't give
any frames info since we didn't have any pen or paper at the moment, we just
rebooted and had to repair the system.
