Try hitting control-C continuously while booting. If that does not work, you can use the "programming a dead board" technique using the UART loader to reflash the SPI from the ground up. I think that control-C should work for you, though.

Control-C does not work. Tried in both HyperTerminal and Putty.

Also tried dead board instructions with seemingly successful results but still got the autoboot loop:

Argh. The SPI reprogramming doesn't wipe the u-Boot environment or the FPGA environment, so it just picks back up where it left off. I think we need to update the flashing utility to wipe the u-Boot environment and/or the FLASH environment. Not sure I have a solution for you at the moment, Craig. You've managed to find a path we haven't covered yet!

Let me see what we can come up with, it might take a bit of time, though...

Would this work?

sfh_OMAP-L138 -erase

help sez:
Global erase of the flash memory device (no input files)

Should. You'll need to reflash again the u-Boot and UBL. Give it a try. (good catch, BTW).
