i have never mounted it before . i am currently booting with initrd (good :-)) from my flash and it works fine( the commandline was : root=/dev/rd/0 ); but now i want to replace that with a cramfs (better :-)) . anyway, i know i can acess to the range (start 0xfe100000 - length 2MBytes) via my partition /dev/mtdblock/2 but if i try something like : root=/dev/mtdblock/2 then JFFS2 try to mount it as root filesystem and fails !!!!!! maybe i should add something to the commandline, in order to tell the kernel that /dev/mtdblock/2 contains a CRAMFS partition ??
