Query regarding Eboot booting from Nand

Dear Friends,

We are using Samsung 2413 processor for developing customize board. We got
success in porting the eboot, and slowly we are heading to boot OS image.

Now I hve few general questions:

A) what is the relation between nk.nb0 and filesystem in case I want to use
nk.nb0 in nand flash? and how it is different considering the case when I
want to use nk.bin to write it into nand?

B) I read about MBR but I cannot make out do we need to write MBR when we
are going to use NK.nb0 ?
The reason for asking is while studying the eboot code, I found that
following related to writing NK.nb0 in nand flash starting from left to right:

Stepldr(BootStrap Loader) -- (TOC) -- Eboot --
OS Image
(Block 0) Block 1 Block 2
Block 4 & Onwards

Please correct it if I am wrong at any point.

Please have your comments on these and if one has some online material which
helps in broaden my understanding will be highly appreciated.

Hve a Good Day.

Thank you,
Ankur.
