Stephen,

I apologize if the instructions aren't clear - if you use version 5.x of 
DFORMAT, you'll have to use your patched kernel twice.  In order to mount 
/dev/nftla1 and copy the bzImage to the DiskOnChip, you would need to boot 
from a hard drive using the patched kernel, or insmod the appropriately 
patched modules.

Once you are able to copy the kernel to /dev/nftla1, the patched kernel will 
also be necessary to boot directly from the DiskOnChip.
