Luis,
Sounds like we are in the same boat, again.
I tried a couple of approaches, neither of which were successful.
These efforts used EXT2 only.
1. I ran the following command:
dd if=fastboot-7300-sdcard-7-6-2006.dd of=/dev/sdcard0/disc0/disc bs=1M
Once that completed, I tried to mount part3 as an EXT2 file system,
and got a message on the console that no EXT2 file system could be
found there. part1 and part2 were created however, apparently
successfully.
I then used fdisk to delete and recreate the third partition as
described on another wiki page, then tried again to mount part3 and
got the same message, that no EXT2 file system could be found
2. I then actually created an EXT2 file system on part3 and untarred
the woody Debian distribution at the top of the part3 file system.
That part worked fine, but when trying to use it as the root file
system during boot/pivot sequence, I get a kernel panic that starts
with an error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sdcard0/disc0/part3" or 08:20.
Not sure what the problem is here. The 7300 file name vs 7260 machine
seems suspicious, but I don't know. The dd is clearly not yielding
the desired results, but I am not sure if it is the command or the
input file.
Wonderin'
