I have since figured this out, but I am puzzled because the /etc/fstab
that comes shipped by default looks like this:

proc /proc proc defaults  0 0
/dev/mtdblock/1 / jffs2 0 0

Note the "jffs2" in there.  I tried yaffs on a lark and of course it
worked.

The booting process must ignore the filesystem type for the root
filesystem in fstab.
