Hey, I didn't ment to start serious discussion about romfs, it was mainly
trick for starters - romfs is dumm/simple way to get linux started almost
anywhere. Then you'll have to think about something real.
On flash file systems - here is a hint (not freeby everybody here expects
to see:) stock linux got it, look in PCMCIA drivers and with few mods -
there it is! (keep in mind that there is a bunch of different flash chips
and they all are different), people who charge $$$ for it just figured it out.
