OK, I just started following the guide here:

I'm at the 5th step. When I enter the first command, the command goes through (I see about 30 to 40 '#' characters ... But then when I enter the second command mentioned in the 5th step (which is 'mke2fs -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2' without the single quotes), I get the error:

Could not stat /dev/mmcblk1p2 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly ?
Any clues on whats wrong here ?

Note: I entered the number 1 in step 3, since my microSD card is a 2GB one, which shows a capacity of 1.84GB in the N900

EDIT: here is the exact output from my N900 after running steps 4 and 5:

Code:
/home/user # umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
/home/user # mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkdosfs 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008)
