I don't understand. I changed the kernel to use the read only device. I 
expected this to work rw without caching but it does not. I have already 
tried mounting root ro via the caching mtd block and although my system does 
not fully start I can't see how I would get corruption ? 

I have looked at the mtdblock_ro code and it seems you allow writing if flag 
certain bits are set you allow writing. Do I need to set these somewhere ?

Cheers Simon.
