[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] flasher not flashing rootfs?

I was working on a "minimum rootfs to get a console shell" test.  The
next step is "minimum rootfs to get an X app".

What I did yesterday is make an ext2 file system image on my desktop,
then dd it over to the 770 right into the mmc card (using Nokia's 2.1
rootfs, which I can flash).  Now I can boot off the mmc card.  I need
to get a bigger card if I want to go much further with this, though
;-)

Assuming you have a big enough mmc to hold a full rootfs image.  I
still only have the pre-supplied 64m card.

But, I'll keep that in mind.  It would be better if the flasher just
worked, or at least told me why it wasn't.
