The MTD stuff doesn't really handle booting - it's only Linux drivers for
once you've managed to boot the kernel. There are some patches for Grub to
make it work from a DiskOnChip, and there is some code in the boot/
directory of the CVS tree for making the kernel boot from ROM/flash as a
BIOS extension. Also see LinuxBIOS - http://www.linuxbios.org/
