Can anyone give a me a little more info on how this works please? What I am
trying to do is use 2 separate image filesystems. The first is bootable,
and is located at the base of Flash, contains procnto and some other startup
code that will generally remain unchanged once it is stable, and the other
will contain system applications. The 2 images are seperated by some other
data (some startup code at just below 1M), so I think that setting the chain
attribute in the first image to point to the second may be the way to go.
What I need to know, more specifcally, is what the address means, ie is it
the address in Flash before the image is loaded, or do I have to manually
load the image into RAM at the given address.
I could put the applications in an embedded flash filesystem, but I would
rather avoid having to load an extra filesystem driver (devf-*) and having
to put everything in the /fs0p0 directory rather than /
Thanks

The address specified by chain is the linear address where the next imgfs
is located.
