Aha. Not one of my goals :)
though the problem might be size here, you would probably need to
strip the defaults a bit to get an initramfs that matches the usual
size constraints you have on MTD devices ... (an initramfs of the
current ubuntu versatile flavour is actually 2.7M big, i dont know
the numbers for debian here but assume they are not massively
different)
It's 3.4M on my N2100. Size isn't a tight constraint as it was
originally designed to have userspace hosted on flash - so there's
nearly 10MB more to spare.
One thing though, there seems to be no kexec-tools package available
- is kexec not supported on ARM? That'd be a problem..
