I can't find the original HOWTO anymore, but this link is more or less what I used to do, and it worked great. http://lakeshoremicro.com/diskonchip-grub-howto.html > Meanwhile, is it also possible to install either the jffs2 file system > or either another type of journaling system targeted for leveling cell > wear on a regular flash IDE device ? Using the blkmtd driver, which is an emulation layer. I feel it's usefull to benefit from the compression that jffs2 offers (as opossed to cramfs, which is also compressed , but read-only) - but i am not sure if you really can benefit from the wear leveling that jffs2 offers, since ide flash devices have controllers inside that have their own flash trasnlation layer...
