R/B is an open collector that is driven from the NAND. You should not be 
connecting this to the address bus. You can just leave this unconnected (R/B 
detection not available) or connect it to a GPIO.

I think most people connect CLE and ALE to GPIO pins, but some application 
notes describe driving these via the address bus. you should then be able to 
drive the lines the way you want by accessing the corresponding addresses.
