	I'm pretty new to MTD and all these stuff, but if this is the 
case, how the kernel mounts the /dev/nftla1 with no problems at all when I 
boot from the hard disk?

	Isn't it dangerous? It's a 16MB DOC2000 - are these the right
parameters? Can I overwrite bad block table with the above command?
How can I recover bad block table (I can make 'dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=some_file'
to create a backup copy, can I)?

	Sorry to bother you with this, but it's rather important.

Cheers,
