This is actually quite conceivable. Have a small parallel NOR-Flash for
boot-loader+kernel, and a huge serial nand-flash (cheaper per-Mb) as flash
disk.
Btw, I was wondering the same.
AFAICR, there is QSlinux (do they still exist today?), that made a serial
flash driver (via SPI) and used serial data-flash as fs.
