Exactly.

Well, this step I did a little different.
I put the DoC into the separate socket. On this socket I removed the
pin for the CS (chip select) and connected it to a switch. The other
end of the switch I put into the socket on the board.
Then I booted the system, and when the LILO appeared I turned the 
switch on, so the Linux found the DoC.

Here I would like to thank all the good people who helped me
and probably I could not do it without their help.
Thank you all!!!

One note.
They recommended me, that id use a DOS 5.x utility DFORMAT to
transfer the GRUB firmware to DoC. 
I must say, that DFORMAT could not transfer this to DoC, it
reported some errors.
But I could use the Linux, doc_loadbios to load the firmware
and then nftl_format to format the DoC.

Then the standard fdisk, mkfs, cp, ...

I have the same problem.
If you find the solution, please post it to the mtd mailing list.
If I find it, I'll post it here.

Thank you once again and best regards,
Mateo
