Mount the new formated partition:

Code:
mount /dev/mmcblkxxxx /media/mmc1
I would recommend using the "mount -o loop" command used in this step, and skip step #2 entirely. That's a lot of extra editing if you just mount the partition without the script after all.

I would also recommend mounting your new formatted partition under /opt instead of /media/mmc1 because /opt will most likely be unused, while /media/mmc1 could very well have something mounted there already.

slick204: "sudo debian" runs the debian chroot script as root. So it won't work if you are already root. If you are already root, just type "debian"...

Also, I'm not entirely sure where you are in your copy process. Do you have the empty partition ready?
