Hello!

I try to bring openWRT to the IB-NAS4210-B. It is a SL3512 based NAS device, 
similiar to the IB-NAS4220-B, which ist SL3516.

For now i created a new device file and edited some other files. All that work 
is based on IB-NAS4220-B, mixed with some details from D-LINK DNS-313. I can 
build a new firmware and the device can boot with it.

My problem is, that the filesystem is read only. For some reason, the jffs2 is 
not overlayed. The flash layout is detected. This is from booting the system:

I read in the wiki, openwrt searches for a partition named 'rootfs'. But his is 
missing here.

I can give more information as needed, but I#m not sure what.

I'd like to send a patch, when everything is working.

Hope some one can help.

Bye,
Ingwer
