i though about taking a console-image from the angstrom/narcissus
builder, and copy it to my nand. one should be enough.

that solved perfectly the problem ! thx a lot. but, (i don't know if
it's important...), but for mtd, i have, according to my /dev in debian
mtd{0,1,2,3} . i can access and mount mtdblock[12].
so, i did the flash_eraseall on mtdb 1 and 2, not 2 and 3.
i'll put the angstrom console-image on mtdblock2.

i'll put on the mtd1 the angstrom console image as i told above,
and learn about µClibc on my mtd2, in a second time.
Thank you very much for your help :)
