I've just acquired a RouterBoard 433UAH and was hoping to install OpenWRT. Using either the svn trunk or branches/8.09 builds I can produce a network bootable kernel/rootfs, however I am unable to access or write OpenWRT to the NAND.
This board has a 512 MB NAND chip instead of the 64 MB one on the RB433AH (at least according to the Mikrotik spec sheets).
If served up via TFTP the prebuilt Kamikaze AR71xx vmlinux.elf kernel will boot but panics when unable to mount a root file system.
I tried following the NAND erase procedure from the 433AH Wiki Page without success.
