Okay, thanks, but what are the correct mount() parameters? I'm not a
Unix/Linux person, so I'm not familiar with the usual semantics of mounting.
What is "/dev/flash/fis/jffs2"? Is that my "device name", the thing that
gets mounted? Do I then specify an arbitrary folder to mount it at, perhaps
just "/" since this is the only file system I've got?
