If it's the same as Galaxy S, as I recall, you'll have to build recovery
first (make recoveryimage), then flash it with heimdall (heimdall flash
--kernel boot.img) and use recovery to flash the rest (system,
userdata).

I sort of understood that you copies aries instructions to build for
apollo. That sounds like a very bad idea as IIRC your device is more
close to galaxys (galaxysmtd product). Though, you can't just blindly
build and flash galaxy s images on your device, there is stuff you must
get to know:
* kernel image format (zImage, android boot image, etc)
* thus how you pack the initramfs into it
* systemimage partition and format
* userdata partition and format
* same for more images if any (datadata, cache, etc)

I think you should first try to see if there is CWM rcovery available
for your particular device and work with that.
