erase config -- clears conf area in flash
erase comos -- clears comos in flash
erase all-flash -- what did u expect?

Try the above. Note that parts of the ComOS, especially the mdp
stuff, are stored in different partitions of the flash. Yes, the
flash is organized like a hard disk. Not that bad idea ;-)
Normally, a comos upgrade erases some partitions before the upgrade
(part 6 & 7, I think). If the erase is ommited, strange things may
happen.

Strange problem. Megazone, are you aware of it?
