As it turns out, the JFFS v1 code in the snapshot I released a few days
ago wasn't amazingly broken. I've placed a new snapshot online which,
barring more glaring oversights by me, should work on Assabet. (I've
done some quick sanity checks booting from JFFS on a phase 4
Assabet/Neponset and a phase 5 Assabet. No promises, though. =)

    bootldr-snapshot-11-mar-2001.patch.gz

Note that when you `load jffs' now, the entire "jffs" partition is
erased (no need for `eraseall' or similar). The partition map that
bootldr assumes for Assabet (phases 4 and 5) is included in the preamble
to the patch; the correct root device for this map is "/dev/mtdblock2".

I wouldn't try the JFFS2 support just yet.
