You need to create the "rootfs" in Eclipse IDE as well...just select new->project and choose uclinux filesystem instead of kernel and add the applications you want...make a build...and do an upload to the flash memory...

From the kernel messages you see where the rootfs is stored in flash: 

0x00200000-0x00600000 : "romfs/jffs2"

And please read the startup guide supplied during installation of uclinux...gives a quick overview how to build kernel/filesystem and install them...
