DoC newbie

Hi ,

[ Sorry if I inform you about things that others already mentioned, I've
missed a few posts from this thread. ]  

In the past I have booted and setup many diskonchip devices with grub. I
can't find the original HOWTO anymore, but this link is more or less
what I used to do, and it worked great.

Using the blkmtd driver, which is an emulation layer. I feel it's
usefull to benefit from the compression that jffs2 offers (as opossed to
cramfs, which is also compressed , but read-only) - but i am not sure if
you really can benefit from the wear leveling that jffs2 offers, since
ide flash devices have controllers inside that have their own flash
trasnlation layer...
