http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash

He's covering how to restore the internal memory--but it should give you hints on how to figure out partitioning your mmcblk1 (SD card).

You're welcome.
Why I'm A*hole? I'm just wondering where my post is gone, because this is what I use on my card and also sfdisk is the right command. BTW. I reported you.


Code:
#!/bin/sh
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
0,,0b
EOF
Extension doesn't matter in Linux because of multi-user system but it is good practice to add .sh to the script .
