After setting up the kernel with MDT I get cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00200000 00010000 "Physically mapped flash" ok but I only need the second 1MB - is there some way to either prevent the first meg being mapped/used ? also I'm looking to use jffs as the file system - maybe I can partion it to only use the second meg ??? Any help greatly appreciated, TIA, Frank.
