If the name of the file which your falcon application reads is a string hardcoded into the object code, you may be able to simply edit the binary using a hex editor. The string containing the name of the file to open can be modified, with some limitations. I have just tried this on an X-86 binary created from C source with gcc. When editing the embedded string, you should not make the new string longer than the original, and you may have to add a terminating '\0' null. I used an unknown binary/hex editor I found on my Fedora 9 installation. I know there are numerous others of these, or you could write code to do it quite easily.

I had a look inside using strings and couldn't see anything that looked promising.
I have attached the output for anyone that wants to have a look.

You can use ghex2 to modify the file. Just find /proc/board_info within the file with ghex2 and make a new directory that has the same amount of characters as 'proc'. Example: dock

Do this:

mkdir /dock
mkdir /dock/board_info
cd /dock/board_info
cp /proc/board_info/* .


Then change your 'serial_number' file to a new DID
