[ECOS] FW: Mount JFFS2 root file system issue

Hi Jürgen,

I think you need to discuss these things with eCosCentric.  I don't work for
them, I just recommend them because I know they provide very good service.
As I said before, they provide a supported version of JFFS2 for eCos.  I
don't have the time right now to go and fix up the one in the public
repository.
