Now I want to have the rootfs (jffs) on flash. Is there any document which tells me how to do that ?
As a learning exercise you could start by reading the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/. This is a great document to give you some insight into a Unix filesystem.

In addition, you should know that the kernel and device drivers may automatically create device special files in the /dev directory. The mtd layer is one of the components that does this. Automatic /dev file creation is normally done through the kernel hotplug framework. You can read more about this at kernel.org (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html) or the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev.
