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..
