A ROMFS does not sound right. A JFFS2 filesystem seams more reasonable
and that will work with Redboot.
Its back to my first question. What are you trying to do? What do you
want to place in this filesystem? It is read only or do you need to be
able to write to it? Does it only contain your application image you
want Redboot to boot? Or is it a filesystem for your application? Or
is it a combination of both?
Once we understand what you want to do we can advise you the best way
to do it.
