The first 446 bytes is the bootcode. The partition table resides in bytes 
447-512.

The kernel resides on the first patition, you don't need to do any
setup. That is you don't want to use a file system, simply dd your
kernel to the first partition after the partition table has been setup.

The second partition contains an initial ramdisk, this is the fastboot
environment. No setup needs to happen on this partition, just dd your
initial ramdisk to this partition. The third partition contains an ext2
file system...
