Yeah, I got this source. But there is no mkyaffs

I am not sure my method, please help me to point out some wrong:
$ flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2
$ nandwrite -y -p /dev/mtd2 rootfs.yaffs2

right?

I use mkyaffs as this:

$ eraseall /dev/mtd2    /* old mtd-utils provide eraseall */
$ mkyaffs -e /dev/mtd2
$ mount -t yaffs /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt
$ cp "necessary files" /mnt
$ umount /mnt

Then I can reboot my board mounting /dev/mtdblock2 yaffs2 as rootfs.

Thanks
