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, Stephen
