Booting IDE JFFS2

Hello

I'm designing a disk-less, Linux-based router using regular, generic,
off the shelf motherboards.  It will be running the network-centric
bls linux distribution (http://bls.sf.net).

Replacing a hard drive with a JFFS2 file system, off the shelf
CompactFlash technology, and an inexpensive IDE adapter is *very*
attractive.

The problem is how to boot the sucker.

My understanding is lilo and grub don't do JFFS2 yet.

What booting alternatives do I have?

...John
