Can't create rootfs

Altera_Forum · ‎10-22-2005

1. why the uclinux boot twice , and the first boot is diffrent from the second one

2. why it can't mount the romfs , i had programe the romfs into the flash from address 0x200000

3. i only have 4Mbytes flash memory , why microtronix said make the romfs from 0x200000 to 0x800000.

the boot message is below:
