I am trying to do the same thing. I have a fastboot bootloader on my G1. Everytime, I tried fastboot flash /dev/mtd/mtd3 or fastboot flash / dev/block/mtdblock3 or fastboot flash /system, the sending part is OKAY but writing failed because partition does not exist. Will try to telnet in and flash system.img from /sdcard. However, my friend told me that the phone stucked with Android robot and home screen never show up when he write his own system.img to G1. We really need an official Howto to create update.zip so that we can flash our own image to the phone. Thanks,
