I modified the imx27ads/* for nand boot as in pcm038 and the
drivers/nand/nand_base.c *maf_id and dev_id. Then it boots succesfully for the
Samsung NAND on the ADS board.

envfs: wrong magic on /dev/env0
Q>> Where can I specify my NAND/NOR/RAM details(size, sectors...) so that I can
alter the configuration files. (In the previous version it was
include/config/<board>.h. Now all those files seems to be empty.)
Q>>Why does the wrong magic on /dev/env0 happen? How to correct this?
Q>> How can I store uImage and the rootfilesystem on the NAND? Are there any
commands for this?
I make a uImage with the following commands.
#/opt/OSELAS.Toolchain-1.1.1/arm-v4t-linux-gnueabi/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.5-kernel-2.6.18/bin/arm-v4t-linux-gnueabi-objcopy

#gzip -9 linux.bin
#mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0xA0008000 -e 0xA0008000 -n
"Linux kernel image" -d linux.bin.gz uImage
Once the boot happens the following error messages come:
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 3 2 1
