Sorry for posting this on the wrong list.
For completeness sake:
The solution was fairly simple, all i had to do was set the loopdevice up
correctly with the right byte-offset inside the image and forget about the
erasesz-option to the blkmtd module (eg):
losetup -o 5881928 /dev/loop0 file.img
modprobe blkmtd device=/dev/loop0
mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/cfmnt
...
umount /dev/mtdblock0
rmmod blkmtd; rmmod jffs2;
losetup -d /dev/loop0
After that, one can safely dd the image to the cf-card w/o loosing
partitionings, grub etc.
Sorry again,
chris
