| One less pleasant feature of this ipkg is that a freshly built rootfs
| image will still execute /usr/lib/ipkg/info/kernel-image-*.postinst
| which then wipes out the hard-coded /dev/mtd2. On GTA01, this is indeed

| You've already discussed this issue with Andy. I'd suggest to just
| grep /proc/mtd for the right partition, and fail if it's not there.
| That way, we also don't have to worry about getting bitten after any
| future changes we may make to the partition layout.
