Comment (by cjb):

 I should be clear about my testcase:

 {{{
 * flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd0
 * nandwrite -p /dev/mtd0 olpc-redhat-stream-development-
 build-130-20061026_0003-devel_jffs2.img
 * reboot
 }}}

 .. it will start failing shorting after "Starting udev.." and panic()
 before showing the login prompt.

 Build 130 is at:

 http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build130/devel_jffs2
 /olpc-redhat-stream-development-build-130-20061026_0003-devel_jffs2.img

 Since OFW can't currently boot flash unmodified, I was doing (from memory
 rather than scrollback):
 {{{
 [interrupt autoboot]
 setenv boot-disk /nandflash:\boot\vmlinuz
 setenv boot-file ... root=mtd0 rootfstype=jffs2 ...
 boot
 }}}
