Hello Florian!

Please upgrade to 0.9.4 (or later) and report back. It will still warn
you, but i think it should actually work. Of course the mainboard might
need a hack too, but you will be notified of that separately (if
writing fails at address 0 and the content of the flash remains
unchanged) and we will implement it then.
