Ok, so I followed the instructions and now I boot off of the internal 2gb drive that I partitioned into 2 1gb chunks (one vfat so windows can see it). Two odd side effects: I can no longer choose something on the boot menu, it always boots straight to the internal card, and I can't seem to access that little 256mb space anymore - tried at mtdblock4 and nothing seems to be there. It seems to have gone poof! df doesn't show anything obvious lurking around either.

Is it gone for good? O_o hope not.
