Thanks a lot, this is *exactly* what I was looking for!  Actually,  
partition support is not important as I want to use the whole chip -  
512k isn't *that* much...

Will do that once I get it running completely.  The first test  
triggered some strange problems when I wrote to /dev/mtdn and read back  
the data (which is supposed to give "raw" direct access, right?) - the  
last dword in each 512 byte block is partly broken.  Probably something  
in the localbus layout or timing...

Thanks again,
Albrecht.
