Yes. The mtdblock driver would even allow you to put a writable filesystem 
on the device, although it wouldn't be particular robust or do any wear 
levelling. For cramfs, you could use the mtdblock_ro driver, which doesn't 
allow writing to the device. You can then load the cramfs onto it with the 
increasingly annoyingly misnamed 'doc_loadbios' program via the character 
device.
