The ide module in 2.2.14 and thus mini-rtl supports flash cards. To ide
they are just another type of ide drive. If you want to use flash cards
then it is a no-brainer.
Just mount it and use it like any other drive. The ide-probe.c code in
the ide module will set it up correctly. Look in ide.c for a list of
compatible flash cards.
For eprom check out the article on the Linux Journal site "Booting Linux
from Eprom". Complete source files are located on the on the site.
Just do a search for the keywords in the title.
