Afraid I'm not going to be much more help. But I just wanted to point
out that you're right about the order of precedence in quik, the only
addition I'd make is that I think the most reliable way of telling it
what to do is to make an entry in the quik.conf, run quik, then put
the image name in boot-file (or type it). It seems to handle file
entries more smoothly than manual or NVRAM entries. Of course, this is
a little more trouble for testing...
