Patrick (and all): I have created a page to help you on your quest. Please go to my web page at:
http://mullan.dns2go.com/ Click on the 'Internet' link on the left panel. Keep in mind that I still consider myself quite a 'beginner' with Linux. However, if your system is similar to mine (IBM clone type with DiskOnChip2000) then I think following my page will result in a working system. I included all files I used to get a working flash based router. I have followed all the advice and included the DOC.O module separate in my distribution (ie; not compiled into the kernal). I look forward to all comments (good and bad) so I may improve my first psuedo-HOWTO.

I'm currently spending most of my weekend attempting to get it working and like charles mentioned, I'm running into a 'insufficent low memory error'. How did you get around that? When I attempted to syslinux the DOC using 1.66 it whined about exclusive access. Perhaps you can do a small write up on the steps you took to complete it?
