So, the mkyaffsimage does not have a -D or like option to build the
device table in the image.  Any ideas on how to handle this in ltib?
Maybe use fakeroot?

address@hidden files]$ /opt/ltib/usr/bin/mkyaffsimage 
mkyaffsimage: image building tool for YAFFS built Feb  3 2009
usage: mkyaffsimage dir image_file [convert]
           dir        the directory tree to be converted
           image_file the output file to hold the image
           'convert'  produce a big-endian image from a little-endian
machine
