Drivers are required for DoC, but the standard Bering kernel does not need to be recompiled. Installing the appropriate MTD modules in initrd will allow booting from DoC. Booting from IDE devices under Bering also requires drivers (ide-mod, ide-disk and ide-probe-mod). There are draft instructions for booting Bering from a DoC (without a kernel recompile) at http://fritzfam.com/brad/leaftmp/budiskonchip . --Brad > It also supports > 1M writes as against CF which is 10K.
