[ts-7000] Mount JFFS2 flash from NFS root?

Subject: [ts-7000] Mount JFFS2 flash from NFS root?

I have a TS-7250 configured to boot with the root as an NFS mount. 
The startup commands I enter into RedBoot are as follows:

fis load vmlinux
exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 ip=129.89.xx.xx
nfsroot=129.89.yy.yy:/exports/tsroot"

Everything works and I am able to log in.  However, what I would like
to do is mount the onboard flash onto /mnt/flash so that I can easily
install stuff there, or replace the while filesystem if I want.

Problem is, I always get the following error when I try:

# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock/1 /mnt/flash 
mount: fs type jffs2 not supported by kernel

but I know that can't be, because I'm loading the exact same kernel
image from the flash as when I boot normally (no NFS root) to the
flash, with the "fis load vmlinux" command.  Since the default config
mounts the JFFS2 file system as root, support for JFFS2 must be built
into the kernel, right?

What I am doing wrong here?

Note that I'm using an NFS filesystem image that I just downloaded
from embeddedarm.com today, from
