Everything seems to be working now. The sizes of the partitions wasn't as you said though (though close enough), not that it matters that much.

I will go and investigate fanoush's page to see if there is a way to stop the requirement to select a boot device! It is a bit of a pain on an 810 when you have to slide the keyboard out to select.

you can change the boot default device from the command line.
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc12

But the 30 second timeout will have to be changed by reinstalling bootmenu. sorry,

download the initfs flasher
cp /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.conf into initfs_flasher
edit bootment timeout
install initfs
reboot done

what size partitions do you have, what card ??
