Beginner with DoC

Brian,

I ran MAKEDEV in the util directory (it creates a lot of nodes).

insmod nftl.o

Now you should be able to mount /dev/nftla1 provided it has a filesystem
on it.

You can run fdisk on /dev/nftla to create partitions, etc.

Look at /dev/mtd0 (I captured it with dd) and you can see the start of
the firmware bios extension (0x55aa).

I also had trouble building the utils.  It goes wrong with

../include/linux/mtd/mtd.h:6: parse error

My kernel sources are in /usr/src/linux and I think this is where the
Makefile expects them.

Same here.  Now I'm doing what some others on this list have suggested
and using syslinux to boot the kernel with an initial ramdisk.
