Hello, Vipin!
Are the next steps correct?
- put lstart16.abs to 29F040 flash with offset 40000 (ns lstart16.abs
40000);
- put zImage to 29LV017 bank0 with offset 0 (???).
- put zFlash (root file system) to 29LV017 bank1 with offset 0 (???).
- rdev /dev/mtdblock??  /dev/mtdblock??.
- rdev -R zImage 0.

I experimented with that and other options, but currently result is bad.

Thank You.
           Alexander.
