Dear All,
I succeeded in making the target board booting using CRAMFS with
initrd.
Since initrd will uncompress the image and load the file system to
RAM i face the lack of memory problem in RAM.
So i just wanted to make the kernel boot with the CRAMFS in flash.
I had seen the old mailing list archives related to that. I still
have some clarifications regarding that.
1) Where to create the mtd partitions for the file system in
flash? First i just want to create a simple CRAMFS with some
binaries and executables and then mount it using mount command i.e
like
mount -t cramfs /dev/mtdblock0 /home
I would appreciate if somebody could help me to sort out this
issue.
Thanks in advance,
Nanda

Several options:
- Create a custom mapping driver with hard coded partitions, like most
in drivers/mtd/maps.
- Use a partition table parser and put the partition table into flash.
- Look at the documentation to cmdline.c or browse through the mtd
archives. (not sure, haven't looked at it myself yet)
