Question about recovery mode

Hi,

do we have total access to the 1GB NAND from the recovery mode?
Which part is blocked?


Why isn't it possible to replace the "normal" kernel by the recovery kernel? I mean the recovery kernel is able to load modules as far as I now.
Can't we write the "normal" kernel directly?

Is anywhere more information about the boot procedure?

Thanks.

Replacing the two may be possible - but to what extent? Namely, the recovery kernel has a different init, so you (at the very least) would need heavy modifications, and remember - you can't touch the kernel or recovery images to do so.
