Thanks for your help. I decided to manually divide the 32 erasable 64K
blocks into 2 for Redboot, 14 for my app, 14 for JFFS2, and 2 left over at
the top for the flash directory, configuration data and boot script. (I
suppose one would have been enough.)

I'm merely assuming that the top of the flash is where the FIS directory is
stored, because that's where it says it's reading from when I do "fis list".
I'm a little confused, though, because "fis free" shows that space to be
free. (This is an EB40A ARM7 board.)
