Also, David once told me that fdisking /dev/nftla when nftl.o is loaded (which will always be true if you are using a kernel with the MTD drivers build-in) might not work. This is to be checked with David. > dd if=/dev/sda4 of=/dev/nftla1 That will probably work, though it's not a clean way of doing it. Perhaps a tarred and gzipped file would be better. You might even want to run a regular distribution setup - if you have the space for it. > /sbin/lilo -> should I use the patched LILO I suppose? You do need the patched LILO with the patched boot.b file. I don't if you can get the patched LILO from David's tree, but it was posted by me on this list - so you should be able to get it. Note that there are two patched LILOs, one to work with M-Systems' drivers, one that will work with both M-Systems' and MTD's drivers. -- Dvir Oren Lucid VON Ltd. 9 Saloniki St., Tel-Aviv Israel Tel: +972 3 644 3038 Fax: +972 3 644 3039 To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
