You don't really need loopback or ramdisk support. But they don't hurt.

That's the wrong device node. It would be /dev/nftla, and any partitions 
would be /dev/nftla1, /dev/nftla1 etc. 

 mknod /dev/nftla b 93 0
 mknod /dev/nftla1 b 93 1
 mknod /dev/nftla2 b 93 2

This is complaining because the logical erase size of the NFTL format is 
more than a single _physical_ erase block. The code _ought_ to work like 
that, but hasn't been tested. Other people on the mailing list have asked 
before - I'm not sure what their conclusions were. I think I need to test 
this setup myself and commit the code.
