Is there a way to strip it on the device itself, or does it have to be done on a desktop?

gnuite, it has to be done on desktop.
I used mtd2ram method (takes a LOT of ram) to mount image. mtd2block method may work though.

Maybe I'm having problems because I'm trying this on an N810, but I tried deleting the initfs and running flash-and-reboot, and I still can't get Diablo to boot - same as if I don't run flash-and-reboot at all. The NOKIA logo appears with the little R&D-mode icon below it, but none of the R&D info (initfs version, etc.) appears, and after 30 seconds the screen just goes dark.

I'll try with a stripped Diablo initfs later tonight, I guess.

That does look like an initfs problem. (the RD mode info is shown by initfs, not rootfs). Incidentally, Nokia logo and RD mode logo and green progress bar is provided by NOLO.

PM me with email or favourite hosting site and I'll email my initfs

(original diablo initfs with testserver removed (useless according to fanoush and I know what he means ;)) or diablo initfs with bootmenu added manually with ssh (no telnet). If you want to add bootmenu.conf, you have to edit initfs image anyway :/)

That would take all the fun out of it! ;)

I may post something that has a lot of hints on my website once I get it working.

I'm not a lawyer, but it's probably fine to aggregate all of the steps needed to get the update working, so long as you don't reveal the username and password required to get the repository working.

I'd do it myself if I was certain that I knew all the steps. I don't have a working Diablo quite yet, though. :)

I'd think using the tools from Fanoush's initfs_flasher would work fine...

I'd copy initfs_flash, and make a modded version that doesn't start with the current initfs, but with the image, and then does the same stuff; while it's stopped waiting for input, you can muck around in the initrd directory, and then it'll jffs2 it back up and flash it.

Am I missing something? Is the initrd in a different format not readily extractable to a raw fs image?
