at first time run makefile.sh from sd_bundle to create tool.
Next copy zImage to sd_bundle dir, change root param in 'params' file to
root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
If you have memcard reader set right reader device to yours (in build.sh)
and run build.sh . if you not have reader, for safety comment 'dd' lines
and run build.sh to create bundle file. while running linux on pda copy it
into and run "dd if=bundle.sdmmc of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=1 bs=512
conv=notrunc" on pda.

bundle.sdmmc need to be copied in raw mode from second 512 block. first
block is partition definition. Instalation script created partition
with 10MB offset from beggining, so there is safe space for zImage and
optionaly initrd files.

Maybe in future i'll write ext2 simple reader enough for read zImage from
/boot
