We just just dump the kernel image there.
from werner's explanation i understand why it is designed so, sd being the preferred storage. yet, i think it's a flaw not to support jffs2 -- but that's just my opinion. using the u-boot env as surrogate /boot/append*, as springs to mind and was suggested, sounds like a good idea -- but the beauty of the /boot//append* file is of course its easy access and modification. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
