hello, David, thank you for answer my question before
now I've got other 2 questions

I've defined the CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK by choosing "Caching block device access to MTD device".I divided the flash (16 M)into 3 partitions: bootloader, kernel and jffs. and I have create several device file mtd0-mtd4(with major device number 80) and mtdblock0-mtdblock4(with major device number 31). 
now , the first problem appears
1. if I use "cat /proc/mtd" I just can find only one mtd device which is the first partition.

so I modify the file /drivers/mtd/maps/perseus-flash.c to divide the flash into only one partition : jffs (start: the start of flash size:8M) after the kernel up. I mount the mtdblock0 as jffs onto /jffs with command "mount -t jffs /dev/mtdblock0 /jffs". I didnt erase the flash or copy jffs image to mtd because I think mount can create the filesystem format automatically .
then the second problem appears 
2. after enter command mount , lots of meesage appear in the screen (which really scare me:-).and the kernel......died.

I guess maybe the mtd never up , so I reboot and cp some file to /dev/mtd0 , it said "cant open /dev/mtd0 : No such device",but when I try to cp the same file to /dev/mtdblock0 , the message look like what showed when I mount appears
and here is the message:

# mount /dev/mtdblock0 jffs -t jffs

mtdblock_open

ok
