buildroot to build toolchain on Linux

Hi dumdan,

The read-only rom partition is TOTALLY NOT REQUIRED. You should copy the content of your rom partition into ~/rootfs. The initramfs is much better and easier than romfs.

So just use the default kernel2.config as .config for kernel. It will save you a lot of time.

The cfi and mtd will be required ONLY when you need a read/write flash partition , such as jffs2.

You need a proper map for mtd to work.
