Fast links to the sections:
That said, the mailing list has another way, which requires that you install the mkfs-jffs2 package on your phone:
The main instructions are at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Dfu-util.
Got 2008.12 stable images from http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.12/ (jffs and uImage).

As the note advised, I rebooted and it's fine. resolv.conf now comes populated with a couple of sensible nameservers. opkg update worked OK (given a functional internet conection via usb0).

export QTOPIA_PHONE_DEVICE=$ptsvar
rebooted, all worked (thanks to Saul Lozano for spotting my typo above,
which is now fixed).
export QTOPIA_NO_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD=1in the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia and got rid of the stupid stupid qtopia one.
I also used the illume wrench to turn off all animation options under
the animation tab, again at Tom White's suggestion, which has made my phone
that much more responsive in normal use.
Installing the Qi bootloader
After a highly convincing bake-off at the second
Cambridge OM meet, Tom White demonstrated that the Qi booloader has
some very reproducible speed advantages over uboot.
So I installed the Qi bootloader on my 'moko. The first time it rebooted, the GSM didn't work; the second time, the first press of the power button caused it to try to shut down, so it woke up from suspend half-way through shutting down. Since then, though, it's been pretty good, and it is much, much faster at waking from boot than the old uboot.
Details on installing it can be found here on the wiki, with specific details on how to enter and recognise NOR boot at this wiki page.
The install went fine for me save that, after the dfu-util finished and I got my shell prompt back:
Done! Resetting USB to switch back to runtime mode [root@risby openmoko]#the moko sat there in NOR boot and did nothing. I waited until it powered itself off (30 secs.) then decided it must have finished, disconnected the USB, and booted it as normal.
Thankfully Joerg has made a potted micro-SD card distribution
whose sole job is to
safely apply the v11 upgrade to a GTA02 freerunner. I found out the
details at
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GSM/Flashing#uSD-card_Image and applied
it to two FreeRunners without incident.
What next?
This is where I pencil notes about what's happening right now
before they're marked up into proper sections.
There are problems with either sending or receiving SMS, see
https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2157 for poss bug entry. But I find
that SMS sent from eg kapow get delivered OK, and wake my phone up, whereas
texts sent from either of my openmokos to the other don't, which begs the
question whether there's a problem sending or receiving.
Update 20090104: I'm not sure this is an issue. More testing needed.
Update 20090107: seems to be a non-issue, I haven't been able to
reproduce for some time.
Update 20090131: no recurrence.
