As indicated by the output the primary firmware you are loading is a RAM
based firmware, rather than a firmware to be written to the flash memory
on the card. 

You can also tell this by the filename (af indicates RAM based), for a
flash based firmware you want something starting with p (eg
pk010101.hex). 

Jun Sun's mini HOWTO at http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/ seems to
be the definitive reference for this sort of thing. 

HTH.
