I have added a patch [1] that checks if some F-Keys are pressed and changes/overwrites the root= parameter provided from U-Boot. This allows to choose the rootfs come from SD card (first or second partition), the internal yaffs2 system or the jffs2 minifs (both in NAND flash). A description of the modifier keys is in [2]. This solves issue #78.

Please note that we currently don't have a rootfs for the minifs partitiopn. And we don't have a flasher tool. My idea would be to use a stripped down debian lenny base install. Flashing should be quite trivial by doing some "dd -of=/dev/mtd3".
