You'll need to insmod nftl, as well.

Okay, now I want to see if I can see them with fdisk, but I've
got only a few clues as to the nodes. I tried mknod fla b 62 0 through fla4 for major IDs 62, 90, 31, 93, and 44. Fdisk never finds any of the devices.

Instead of that, run the MAKEDEV script included in mtd. fla are for M-Systems drivers, not MTD.

Ahhh. I was just about to send you my log, then I thought, hmmm, I ought to try fdisk /dev/nftla1. Bingo. It works.

Interesting thing is that fdisk shows four partitions already on the chip. I'll delete them and see what sort of damage I can do now Thanks for the help.
