I always use the block device

'cp zImage /dev/mtdblock/3'  works for me.

of 'cp zImage /dev/mtdblock3' if you are not using devfs.

  Is there a way to transfer a raw binary file into an mtd partition
from Linux.
  I have an Assabet with a some partitions, in the first one I store my
bootloader and the kernel,
  I've tried to update the kernel with:

  erase /dev/mtd0
  dd if=kernelloader.bin of=/dev/mtd0 bs=1
  (I have also tried with cp)

 But when I reboot it starts to decompress the kernel but stops
regreting of an invalid crc.
  (kernelloader.bin is around 750 k)

  Do you know of a simple way to do what I want?  Is there a lower layer
under mtd that would let me access the flash as a raw device?
