I have a few RB493G boards that will not boot OpenWrt due to the bad
blocks problem. Might your work work with them? The amount of spares I
have allows me to offer one to someone who might have hope of modifying
OpenWrt so that they boot again. I would be willing to split shipping
and charge no more than that (I am in the USA).

Of course, I would also be interested in hearing if Danijel's YAFFS2
solution is acceptable to the OpenWrt folks. These boards are still
decent hardware.
