gnuite, it has to be done on desktop.
I used mtd2ram method (takes a LOT of ram) to mount image. mtd2block method may work though.

The NOKIA logo appears with the little R&D-mode icon below it, but none of the R&D info (initfs version, etc.) appears, and after 30 seconds the screen just goes dark.
Flashing the kernel and initfs isn't a necessary step. It'll boot just fine without them. I went ahead and deleted the initfs image (per qwerty12's suggestion) and just flashed the kernel after I had booted Diablo. Works fine.
I'll try with a stripped Diablo initfs later tonight, I guess.

PM me with email or favourite hosting site and I'll email my initfs
(original diablo initfs with testserver removed (useless according to fanoush and I know what he means
) or diablo initfs with bootmenu added manually with ssh (no telnet). If you want to add bootmenu.conf, you have to edit initfs image anyway :/)

I may post something that has a lot of hints on my website once I get it working.

I'd do it myself if I was certain that I knew all the steps. I don't have a working Diablo quite yet, though.

gnuite, it has to be done on desktop.
I used mtd2ram method (takes a LOT of ram) to mount image. mtd2block method may work though.
I'd copy initfs_flash, and make a modded version that doesn't start with the current initfs, but with the image, and then does the same stuff; while it's stopped waiting for input, you can muck around in the initrd directory, and then it'll jffs2 it back up and flash it.
Am I missing something? Is the initrd in a different format not readily extractable to a raw fs image?
