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. Mark
