i can suggest creating custom rootfs. it's quite simple -

after which you only inpack it at your linux box, add: /media/mmc1,
/mnt/initfs, /sys, /tmp, /proc
and pack and use tar2jffs2.sh to make jffs2 filesystem. then you only need to
flash it:
yes, this is workaround for missing -l tar flag in busybox which tars up
only one local filesystem in real tar. You can workaround it by mounting
root filesystem again with same flags to different place (/opt or
/floppy) and then cd /floppy ; tar zcvf - . [...] or install rsync on
device and rsync whole /floppy to desktop over network. This is a bit
easier than making missing directories again and the result is also more
like the original.
I use this trick for making both rootfs and initfs customizations and so
far had no problem.
In 2.6 linux you _can_ mount same filesystem multiple times and it
should be safe.
