No, parition 1 contains a compressed kernel.
e.g.
dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=zImage
The second partition is an uncompressed ext2 filesystem, this is the
initial ramdisk.
e.g.
mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb2 /mnt

I'm not sure why the partition types were specified as 0xDA. I'm sure
there was a good reason though, maybe Jesse or Michael could comment...
