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.

Why ext2 for the second partition? Why not just 1. Bootloader 2. Kernel 3. JFFS2 -- dwmw2
