I am looking for an easy way to update the kernel and
the fs image. Ext2 will allow me to mount it, cp/rm
the compressed files: linux.gz and initrd.gz, umount
it and reboot.
It is probably not much different from flashing the
files on the JFFS2 partition then. And initrd.gz
can be stored on the JFFS2 since the kernel knows
how to access it during bootup.
Thanks.
Bao

Why ext2 for the second partition? Why not just
1. Bootloader
2. Kernel
3. JFFS2
