Nope. You need to load the lstart16.abs file to the BIOS FLASH chip, NOT to

Where did you init the root fs? Whe  zFlashImage boots, it will look to mount
the root fs. Also you need to
tell zFlah image what the root device is. See the HOWTO for more details.

This is quite a complicated procedure. Make sure that you can read/write the
/mtd partitions. Read the HOWTO.
