Yes it is. There are basically two ways in doing it One is to create a binary "blob" where each part (kernel and fs) is placed at a certain location and the space between them is padded These location should match exactly the kernel mtd partition settings in terms of size.
The other method i have used, uses some "magic bytes" at the end of a jffs2 filesystem to mark it Then kernel and the fs are joint and a kernel patch is used to find where the filesystem starts/ends This is the method used by Openwrt (in the kamikaze version) Stelios S.

Hi all, in normal case you have got a kernel image and a rootfs image. Place that images into flash memory, set correct bootargs and it should work. But, is it possible to generate one image which includes the linux kernel and a rootfs, place that single image into flash memory and it should also work? Thanks in advance! Beste regrads Frank
