Hello, I'm using hh bootloader on my SL4 (the version compiled for 0.9.0-rc1 opensimpad build). It has the following partitions defined in flash: 0x00000000-0x00040000 : "bootldr" 0x00040000-0x01800000 : "root" 0x01800000-0x02000000 : "home" I would like to get rid of /home partition and make root partition occupy remaining space. I'm aware that I need to pass static partition definition to the kernel. But do I need to change anything in the bootloader? How does bootloader finds partitions in flash? Does it just scans all flash or it has some parameters which statically define partitions? Is it safe to assume that I can just drop to boot> prompt, delete root and home partitions, then create one large root partition, erase it and copy jffs2 image to it? Would it work?
