You can find here the cfdisk result on the linux SD card, only the
part3 (named disc3) is ext2 , and it's contains the linux not the
initrd. I've the same on the eval kit sdcard with a 505.16MB for the
part3. The other part are raw data. 

cfdisk 2.12p
Disk Drive: /dev/sdcard0/disc0/disc
Size: 255066112 bytes, 255 MB
Heads: 16   Sectors per Track: 32   Cylinders: 973
Name       Flags     Part Type     FS Type   [Label]  Size (MB)

Pri/Log                          Free Space              0.06       
disc1       Boot     Primary     Non-FS data             1.00           
disc2                Primary     Non-FS data                         
                    1.05 
disc3                Primary     Linux ext2              250.88      
                                                                     
                          Pri/Log            Free Space              
             2.10

If I try to make my sdcard, I think that's :
first 60KB : free
in disc1 :  your mini Linux bootloader
in disc2 :  initrd
in disc3 :  linux
