You will want to use `mtdcp`, doing a direct `dd` will not work due to the way 
NAND does internal block relocation.  You will also want to simply `cp` all of 
the files from the Linux root to the SD card, you cannot use dd/mtdcp on that.  
See the script `createmtdroot` in the initrd for information on how we do this, 
you can basically reverse the process to go from NAND to SD.
