Most likely, you forgot to do:
# rdev /diskonchip/boot/doc2000 /dev/fla1
If the DiskOnChip boots and the kernel is loading, but it gets stuck after:
VFS: Mounted root (ext 2 filesystem) readonly.
Most likely, the init program or some if its configuration files weren’t copied.
Cannot log in
If you cannot login when booting Linux from the DiskOnChip, make sure that:
Your default shell is installed.
The pam libraries were placed as explained in par. 5.1.3 (only for RedHat and Caldera).
Refer to Appendix II in order to solve this problem.
Kernel does not compile correctly or patch utility is not available
If the kernel does not compile correctly, and the problem is not caused by the TrueFFS driver, refer to

Kernel is too big
When you run pLilo and you receive the error ‘Kernel xxx is too big’, recompile the kernel with the
bzImage option (In step 0, use make bzImage instead of make zImage).
