The correct disk (partition) would be:
mmcblk1p2 (the p2/p3/p4 etc is your partition number).
sfdisk:

First, we need to partition the external sd card, which is represented as device node /dev/mmcblk1 in most cases. In this example, we will have 2 partitions, one partition will be FAT32 for storage, the other LINUX83 for the Android rootfs. Simply run the following i a terminal:

Code:

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 # unmount the mmc for partitioning

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1
,512,C # 512mb partition for FAT32
,,L # the rest of the mmc is LINUX83
,, # empty
,,


Next, to prepare the new partitions for Android installation, run the following and then reboot you device; this will format the first partition in vfat, and the second in ext3:

Code:

mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2

After formatting the partitions and rebooting the device, you can mount the ext3 partition with the following:

Code:

mkdir -p /mnt
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt

cd /mnt

That's as far as I can help - This is untested. Should fix you up.

alrite guys, is it possible to do the job on my MacOS via terminal, I mean the partation and file copy 2 SD? I don't have a linux OS....and if yes, what's the difference about those command lines under macOS?

Cheers

Nope.

You have a mac, good start.
Is it a Core Duo (or single)?
If so, install VMware, download a linux build - Start from there.
That's exactly how I do it :)
VMware is the greatest!

How do we get flash 10.1 working?

I've tried dj_steve's flash player apk (with froyo 004) and also a 10.1 apk I found on the xda site (with the just-updated froyo rootfs). I put them in the /system/app folder (at different times), however, sites keep saying I need to update my flash player.

I have "Adobe Flash Player 10.1" under my package browser. I've tried restarting it (the package) too.

Has anyone gotten it working?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I did it from my Mac, but I booted from my Gparted live cd.

The problem with partitioning with the Mac is that you can't format/read ext3 from within OSX, that I was able to see.

How much time does it take to boot android?
i am waiting to boot since 10 mins. it often says "init: untracked pid xxx exited"
can some one confirm if this is going right?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Yeah that's too long.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Might post this here as I got no response in the other thread to help:
Having trouble getting this to work.

getbootstate: Invalid selection
Choose bootup option:
2) MMC
9) Start a shell.

I'm guessing the error is up further when I get:
EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "rpsize=1024" or missing value
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /mnt/new_root failed: Invalid Argument
Command exited with non-zero status 255

I'm pretty sure I partitioned it correctly, followed both the guide on talk and on the nitdroid wiki. I originally tried with eclair and zimage0.0.3, but moved to zimage0.4 and Froyo and still getting same error. I'm certain my android.ext.item file is correct, not only have I rewritten twice, I also copied it straight from the wiki. Finally tried with mmcblk0 instead of {EXT_CARD} to the same effect. Help?

Also of note, further up on bootscreen its showing
mmcblk0: mmc0: (hexi crap) 1.89 GiB
mmcblk0: p1 p2

So the card is recognized and its finding the partition. I'm completely lost as to what Unrecognized mount option error means though.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Should only take a matter of minutes to boot. Well under 5. Mine take 2. Any setup.

@IzzehO: Can you copy paste your android.etc.item here? Sounds like you have something there that should not be there...
