I don't think so.  In the C7/8xx series, you booted from flash.  I
think that's still true of the C3xxx, at least the root file system is
*not* on the disk, it's in memory.  So you have to flash the rom every
time you boot to a new OS.

One gets the feeling that the guy who designed that FS hierarchy
probably shut cut down on the recreational pharmaceuticals.
