Indeed it does :-)

I have a couple of more patches, things a little more contentious
than simple cpu or board add.

The gofsk command is something I added to support loading
snapgear/uClinux-dist style raw filesystem+kernel images.

The image itself is a simple concatenation of a root filesystem
and a kernel. Typically it is used with a CRAMfs root filesystem.
The primary motivator for not having any header on this image is
that it can be dumped directly into an MTD flash partition, and
it can be directly mounted as the root filesystem. For known
filesystem types (like CRAMfs and ROMfs) the loader simply looks
over the filesystem to get to the kernel for boot time starting.

Patch attached is my current implementation of this.

Is this something that you would allow into the main tree?

Regards
Greg
