script is easy.
1 it create blank 4MB initrd, extract files from opie distro file, copy
needed files into initrd and create "linuxrc" script.
2 first it mount /sys,proc,tmp and create missing SD/MMC device files in /dev
3 it mount card as expected FAT on whole card (as typical wince formating
and preformated card)
4 copy distro files into /tmp (it's mounted as fs in ram) and umount it
5 next it create partition 110MB with 5MB offset from begining of card
(first 5MB free space is used by kernel bundle which is loaded bu
bootloader)
6 before create partition it write kernel bundle into 5MB free space
7 formating card with ext2, and mount it
8 decompress files from opie image into mounted ext2, and finaly umount
new fs.

so 3 and 7 step should be changed. 3 should mount FAT partition not whole
card. 7 should mount proper ext2 partition.
