   I know it had to be pretty simple! :-)  I have some other old Pi   
   systems lying around here so I can try it on them.  The Pi that I   
   actually want to do this on is in France and I won't be there for a   
   couple of weeks.   
      
   A script to update the bootcode.bin on the FAT drive should be pretty   
   simple, just put it in /etc/rc.local and it will be run every time you   
   boot.  It won't matter running it if /boot/bootcode.bin hasn't been   
   updated, though I suppose you might complain that it's writing to the   
   SD card unnecessarily.  OK, use rsync and the file will only be   
   written if it has changed.
