I didn't even know about the defconfig until I started looking into this
issue.  I tried to "upgrade" the .config that came with the CD but I
can't tell you how I introduced these values.  That said, I was able to
change my configuration to the values in the defconfig and...

# mtd_debug info /dev/mtd0
mtd.type = MTD_NORFLASH
mtd.flags =
mtd.size = 16777216 (16M)
mtd.erasesize = 65536 (64K)
mtd.oobblock = 1
mtd.oobsize = 0
mtd.ecctype = MTD_ECC_NONE
regions = 4

region[0].offset = 0x00000000
region[0].erasesize = 65536 (64K)
region[0].numblocks = 127
region[0].regionindex = 0
region[1].offset = 0x007f0000
region[1].erasesize = 8192 (8K)
region[1].numblocks = 8
region[1].regionindex = 1
region[2].offset = 0x00800000
region[2].erasesize = 65536 (64K)
region[2].numblocks = 127
region[2].regionindex = 2
region[3].offset = 0x00ff0000
region[3].erasesize = 8192 (8K)
region[3].numblocks = 8
region[3].regionindex = 3

Its working!  Thank you everyone for helping me figure this out.

Initially I was going to try and define this via the OF tree.  However,
the documentation indicated that the only supported device_type was
"rom" so I did not persue that route.
