fastboot boot vs. flash boot commands

[Reza Mohammadi]

I just found an interesting thing about fastboot. (And this discovery
was painful for me :P)
These two commands are both valid:

fastboot boot <file> (harmless)
fastboot flash boot <file> (DANGEROUS!!!)

Be careful when you are playing with fastboot, specially when you
don't have the boot image of the connected device.

[József Király]

While "fastboot boot" makes the phone boot from the file, "fastboot flash boot" will flash the selected image to the boot area of the phone. That's the difference.
