You're absolutely right, I was so meaning to reproduce the black screen
thing that I completely forgot about that other possibility! Adjusted
both 2.2 and 6.4 to mention this other failure mode.

Embarrassing typo, thanks for catching it.

Oh, I think I meant “failsafe” here rather than “fallback”. Now I'm not
sure which version I prefer… I'll keep the wording you reviewed; but I'm
happy if others want to switch later on.
A few searches around the web seems to show that “into” is more popular
than “in” in this context, so I'll take that suggestion.
As for boot→booting, I'm seeing this:
help [sb] do [sth],
help [sb] to do [sth]
so I think I'll keep “help boot into” in the end (but happy to hear
about native speakers, not sure it's worth looping d-l-e@ in for this).
I've also taken your other suggestion/other mail into account.
New branch → pu/firmware-v2; probably best reviewed with something like
this:
git fetch
git diff --word-diff origin/pu/firmware-v1..origin/pu/firmware-v2
I think I'll wait a little (a few hours) in case someone else wants to
chime in, but I'll probably upload this shortly (this European evening).
I'm assuming the l10n robot will update the po files once I've pushed
this to master?
Thanks!
Cheers,
