Finally!! Everything works on when I boot from SD. I even went and installed a bunch of my favourite programs again. :-)
It must have been related to the ownership or something, I had to go in as root and chmod everything to 0777... EXCEPT /etc/sudoers which has to be 0440.

Now to figure out how to backup (and restore) it... Actually, a couple more things as well.

How?! Can't figure out what device or whatever it is. My Linux use is limited to mostly user so far.

Can we use that memory for swap/virtual space?

Also, to make a backup of this, can I just do a copy to another card? (Ok, maybe another tar at least)

Finally, is this worth putting together into another post or wiki article "How to create a bootable card on your PC - booting tablet not required"
