Well 'fdisk -c bootcode' will write the non-bootsel code from file bootcode.
But the bootsel code will only ever be loaded from the default file,
and then only if non-bootsel code is loaded.

Actually reporting that the boot code differs from that which would
be loaded, and asking if the user wants to update migth be handy.
(the logic is fairly foul though....)

For interest, why were you trying to use the non-bootsel version?
The bootsel one should work, it supports the menu being disabled....
