Thus far, I have learned that before starting on step 7 of post #1 of this thread, one should partition the card first.

sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc2
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0 -uM
1,14000,0C
,,,
reboot

I'm probably wrong (my knowledge of Linux is average) but -uM isn't needed.

Also the 1st partition that is created is VFAT which has the code of "6", not "0C".
For the second partition, try the line:
14001,,

(Starts from 1 cylinder after the VFAT partition, fills rest of space & I think sfdisk assumes ext2fs is nothing is entered after the second comma)
