Using the mtdparts option in the boot cmdline. example

mtdparts=256k(partition1)ro,333k(partition2),444k(partition3),-(partition 4)

This will create /dev/mtd1, /dev/mtd2, etc, etc (and the corresponding
mtdblock devices) - you still have to create the inodes manually
(AFAIK) with the corresponding size, etc Using the '-' in the last
option uses all the remaining space. (as the ro option that makes the
partition read only. Useful for not overwriting your bootloader)
