Booting from JFFS2

[Bao C. Ha]

Actually, using the JFFS2 as root will make our life simpler.
We will save on the Ram.

This is great suggestion!

Thanks.

You shouldn't need an initrd - why can't the kernel use the JFFS2 as root 
filesystem? And you can put a kernel onto the flash partition directly, 
without having to use a filesystem.
