If you're looking for a full-featured FLASH file system (read/write),
take a look at "Memory Technology Device (MTD) Subsystem for Linux" at
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
and the "Journaling Flash File System" at
http://www.developer.axis.com/software/jffs/
For simple read-only support, either use the ROM file system option in
your stock kernel, or place an initrd image in FLASH.
