I do not want to boot via rootfs on the flash. I need to use most of
the flash (entire mtd1 partition) for storage purposes. This leaves me
with either initramfs to boot (as far as I understand 2.6 onwards is
initramfs instead of the older initrd interface) or NFS root. I guess
I'll try uclibc or NFS and see if that works.
