First of all, thank you Thomas for your help on trying to get my
diskonchip2000 to be recognized by linuxmtd.

After enabling the right config flags in the kernel, I can now mount my
diskonchip2000.

There were some messages during the initial loading of the inftl module that
frightened me a bit. Here is the entire output from dmesg:
==================

<Andre> looks ok up until here

==================
The INFTL messages do not appear on subsequent loads of the inftl module.
Can somebody please explain what happened, i.e. should I be concerned?

/proc/mtd:
mtd0: 18000000 00004000 "DiskOnChip 2000 (INFTL Model)"
mtd1: 00010000 00004000 " DiskOnChip BDK partition"
mtd2: 17fd4000 00004000 " DiskOnChip BDTL partition"

cheers,
