There isn't much to go with, are you saying you're building a initramfs image
that contains the full openbmc userspace so that a booting system doesn't need
access to the flash at all. This is exactly what I need right now, thankyou!!

I've applied this patch, and I THINK I booted with the right file... doesn't
appear to have worked, it still tried to mount the flash and because I can't
flash openbmc on my machine I got dropped into recovery shell.

Thoughts?

Thanks anyway...

Cyril
