There is a way to use a ROMed tar image with the IMFS which effectively 
is a ROM filesystem.
See the file cpukit/libfs/src/imfs/imfs_load_tar.c. The trick here is 
that files' contents are left in
ROM until modified.  They get directory entries in the IMFS which point 
to blocks of memory
in the ROM image in tar.
