system.img and userdata.img do indeed appear to be yaffs(2?) images.
I was able to unpack each using this somewhat obscure utility:

http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/

Unpack to a directory, edit the files, and then generate a new image
file with mkyaffs2image, which you can build from the android source
repo:

http://source.android.com/source/download.html

Does anyone know if there is a similar utility to this "unyaffs" in
the android repo to unpack/mount yaffs image files?
