Hi thanks for your answer.
In my case, when the linux image is loaded, the _startup procedure copies the romfs image from the
rom to the ram (at _ebss). So I can use RAMdisk or MTD.
I have already tried with MTD, I create a partition but I have a probleme with the function
mtd_blktrans_thread() which turns in endless loop.
So I going to try only with ramdisk. It seems to be the easiest way to mount romfs. I have seen that we can specifie a command line initrd option 'initrd=0xaddr,sizeK'.
Does 'addr' must be equal to _ebss?
If not what should I specify for this command line?

Thanks very much in advance!
Regards

Hi Stephane,

I'm working on mounting romfs for kernel 2.6.19 on a new architecture and I have a question:
It is possible to mount romfs without MTD support?

Where does the romfs sit?
If on a disk you would logically use  IDE or SCSI block device.
It it sits on raw flash then MTD is the logical choice.
If its in RAM then either ramdisk or MTD would make sense.
