Yes.

Strange. Is the flash completely erased? It should not be erased 
automatically -- too many people attempt to mount the wrong flash 
partition, and if you mount the partition that contains your bootloader you 
will _not_ thank me for auto-erasing it.

I would strongly recommend you use JFFS2, not JFFS. I haven't looked at JFFS
code for ages now, and I don't think anyone else is doing so either.

Something special for the hardware. If you power cycle a chip while it's 
erasing, you may find that some bits become undefined -- sometimes they'll 
return a '1', other times a '0'.
