Replying to my own message. The answer is that "dformat /win:d800
/BDKF0:grub_firware" only works with v5.14. The next question is did I
screwup the mtd patch? It doesn't appear to be as all kinds of
MTD-related kernel config settings appeared after patching. I should
also mention that Grub was installed correctly onto the DOC2000 as it
booted up to the Grub prompt as expected. The only thing I can't do is
mount /dev/nftla1 to install the kernel and menu.lst. Suggestions?

Thanks,
