I've just been caught out by a change in the way bootloader works (I'm not sure from which rev this change occurred).

When loading a NAND kernel from the NOR kernel it is important to go and execute the following commands in bootloader:

boot> yaffs2
boot> params save

Otherwise the kernel doesn't get told it's booting from a Yaffs kernel and the chainboot will fail. (I believe there is a similar command for ubifs).

I'm assuming this is a consequence of removing yaffs from bootloader and the fact that telling the kernel the wrong FS type is painful given that we now have a choice of FS type.

I've amended the Wiki docs accordingly but it would have been nice if this had happened when the change was made and then flagged to the list...
