MTD and 2.4

[Jason Walker]

of course, when I am using the 2.2.17 kernel used to install this stuff, it
says this then running dLILO:
cannot locate block-major-93

when I have /dev/nftla1 in my lilo.conf. hmmmm. I assume that's because I
don't have nftla in thsi mystery 2.2.x kernel.

perhaps rdev'ing the 2.4 kernel I am working on would be a better approach.

Quite why someone felt it necessary to register block major 100 for the
strangely named 'fla' device, when there was already a perfectly usable
major assigned for NFTL, I have no idea.

Switching your root device to /dev/nftla1 should fix it.
