Hello,
Is there a working version of mtd for ppc? I was working on it a while back,
was able to access the chip after memory mapping, but was unable to reliably
partition and mount the /dev/nftla. I think it was a problem on the reads
with inb and outb. I use the 860T from Embedded Planet.
Thanks,
--Julia

It is flash abstracation layer (driver), and is now part of
the
official linux 2.4.x kernels from Linus.
