When it comes to partitioning the SD card it is easier to always make the
first partition a FAT partition this will make the card usable while in
windows on the ipaq. I personally only have a 10 Mb FAT partition which is
way more than enough to store the kernel image and haret. The second
partition I use the remaining space as a ext2 filesystem - this incidentally
is the same way that roman has setup haret to operate in the image he has
provided.

Well its funny you should say that but yes... I seem to remember being able
to boot haret and the kernel image off the SD card, however with this image
Roman has provided I have not been able to do this and have been only
succesful with moving the files onto the ipaq filestore.

I noticed that the mini-distro roman made has HaRET version 0.3.6 but that

Well i didn't notice that - feel free to try the later version maybe thats
why I cant boot from off the SD card

Looking forward to your feed back and trying out the new kernel image.
