   The rootfs is the same for all "supported" hardware devices. The
real problem is that for 1.1RC5, you must have a recent
bootloader+kernel+initfs. (such as the ones distributed publicly by
Nokia)

   Unfortunately, bootloader and initfs are hardware-version
dependant, so I guess you need to ask whoever gave you the B4 device
if they can send you newer versions of the product image, and only
after that, install rootfs 1.1RC5. (and with this problem I'm unable
to help, as I'm not a Nokia employee :) )

   Best regards,
