  You need to create a FAT partition in on your NandFlash. You can do it
with the bootpart lib in your bootloader. Refer to the SMDK2420 BSP sample
code. When you achieve (2), you could then enable hive-based registry on
that FAT partition, just like how you should do on any other external file
system.
