Here's how you can easily partition/format your memory card on your device.

First, make shure you have e2fsprogs installed and do the following as root:

Code:

fsdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk0

Assuming you want a 356MB partition for user-space, and the rest of your memory card for Android, enter the following in the displayed order

Code:

356,C
,,
,,L
,,

Then reboot, this will make a fat32 filesystem on the first partition for some user-space (mmcblk0p1), a empty partition on mmcblk0p2, a linux83 filesystem on the third partition (mmcblk0p3), and a empty partition on mmcblk0p4.

After you reboot, make shure that your internal memory card is not mounted and do the following to format your memory card so Android has a proper filesystem to run on.

Code:

umount /dev/mmcblk0
mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p3

Then mount your /dev/mmcblk0p3 device to /opt, untar your Android OS to /opt, umount /opt, and flash your kernel, enjoy!
