Yeah, I realized that later. I don't know what I was thinking.
I have the empty partition already made, I just can't seem to mount it.
Since I've already modified my .chroot file, when I run "sudo debian" there's nothing in the partition. I get the following error:
insmod: cannot insert '/mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/mbcache.ko': File exists (-1): File exists.

If I'm going to extract the tar file to the new ext2 partition do I need to mount the debian image I have now?

OK, I now have mmcblk0p2 mounted both as /debian and /opt!

I'll try extracting the tar file to /debian....

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