This is normal behaviour of cp as far as I know. You can do 'cat vmlinux >
/dev/mtdblock5' instead.
Note two other things however:
1. Unless your bootloader can parse ELF, having vmlinux on /dev/mtdblock5
won't do what you expect
2. If /dev/mtdblock5 is on a NAND device, you should use nandwrite for writing
into your raw MTD device (/dev/mtd5), because nandwrite is bad block aware,
while 'cat' is not
baruch
