The kernel has to boot from flash, and then flash will be used as an ext2 filesystem. But this has already been done in the Philippines looong agoooo. Write to Ritchie Lozada (formerly with Evoserve/Edsamail), but now with Microsoft (web marketing?). Some members of his team might still be lurking around here. Anyone of Ritchie's team around?
