If you mean you are putting a kernel into Disk On Chip, along with a root
filing system as well, then the answer is that the root fs should be on
/dev/nftla1

If, on the other hand, you are actually only putting the kernel onto flash
(DoC or some other flash device) then your root fs will still be /dev/hda1 or
wherever you have all your system files (maybe somewhere across a
 network...).

Does this tell you what you need ?
