mmcblk0p2? That's not 5MB in size, so I'm guessing that isn't the 
rescue partition. Ideally what I want to do is something like:

abootimage --create newboot.img -k zImage -r initrd.img -c '....'

dd if=newboot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1

The real question I guess I have here is whether abootimage -u will 
just push the raw image out to a raw partition or whether it does some 
other, additional magic going on.
