This is probably not a problem. I'm just trying to understand what's going on here. I bought a used Nokia 770 that was already setup with a 2G memory card and a boot from mmc2 option in a startup menu when you power the device on.

I read the wiki post about how to setup the tablet to boot from mmc2 partition, copy the files, make simlinks and all that. I think I understand the concept.

What confuses me is if I go to X term and execute ls -a media/mmc2 I get no files listed. There is nothing in the partition. I would expect to see all the system files there.

The boot from mmc2 works, tablet functions, I even get more installed applications available in "extras" when I boot from mmc2 then from flash. What does this all mean?

The 770 doesn't have an "mmc2". Besides, if you're booting from it, it's mounted at /.

Thanks. How is that I can execute

cd media/mmc2

or

ls -a media/mmc2

X term doesn't report a missing directory, it seems that it's really there.

Yep, you have to have a directory to mount something on it... And you probably are using a HE edition, which has /media/mmc2 by default

Besides MMC2 is just a label in the boot menu.
