You will have to extend block to handle NAND. You could use the nand driver
code from mtd-cvs for this. Be aware that you have to handle bad blocks, as
your chip can have factory marked bad blocks.
On my system I have 1MB bootflash, where the bootloader, zImage and params are
stored and my root filesystem is on a JFFS2 partition on NAND. Thats the
fastest way to go along I think.
