You can run fdisk on /dev/nftla to create partitions, etc. Look at /dev/mtd0 (I captured it with dd) and you can see the start of the firmware bios extension (0x55aa). > I get a compile error for the various utilities. I also had trouble building the utils. It goes wrong with ../include/linux/mtd/mtd.h:6: parse error My kernel sources are in /usr/src/linux and I think this is where the Makefile expects them. > Eventually I want to be able to boot off of the DoC, but for now, > I'll settle for making the kernel modules work.
