| can imagine i could place a kernel on my card and add append file with
| rw and root=/dev/mtd device and of the nand flash?)

Yes it can work, but you need root=/dev/mtdblock...

Having rootfs mount ro initially is a safety feature, it'd be sad if we
have to take it out because the rootfs can't manage doing a mount
/dev/root / -oremount,rw in the initscripts.
