One year ago a follow your procedure on
http://wpkg.org/Running_Debian_on_Freecom_FSG-3, so i've do all the
steps in the document.

Now i've the follow situation :

# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "RedBoot"
mtd1: 00040000 00020000 "unallocated"
mtd2: 00180000 00020000 "kern1"
mtd3: 00180000 00020000 "kern2"
mtd4: 00040000 00020000 "unallocated"
mtd5: 00020000 00020000 "RedBoot config"
mtd6: 00020000 00020000 "FIS directory"
Can you explain me, how to restore the original mtd partition ? ( in the safe way if is possible ;) )

Thanks Tomasz
