It's hard to completely eliminate all disk activity on the rootfs. Even with /var/log mounted on another disk, there might be read access to the rootfs while the system is running.

Sash, Try this test. Connect serial console, but don't run kwboot. Run a normal serial console (i.e. minicom/picocom). Don't power up yet. - On the NSA325 header, unplug the RX pin, and keep the TX and GND connected. - Power up and within 0.5 - 1.0 second, plug in the RX pin. - If nothing came out of serial console, power down.
