Hi Vlad,

The idea with the cardboot and RamdiskRescue pages is to boot Familiar (on removable card) from PPC using haret.
AFAIK it is not possible to boot+root to a removable card using LAB for two reasons:
  1) The Familiar kernel does not have support for CF, SD or ext2 compiled statically.
& 2) LAB does not have initrd support (last I checked).

So, if I understand what you've said, you have two avenues:
  1) Reinstall PPC (either from backup or extracted from download).
  2) Install Familiar to flash.

Good luck :)

Marcus.
