[ts-7000] SD card

I picked up some 2 gig SD cards at Microcenter and have been 
unsuccessfully trying to partition and get them to boot and run on the 
TS7390.

Most of these memory media are slightly different size depending on 
make. Also they tend to have different memory geometry.
So I don't want to do a direct dd copy of the whole device.

I also wanted to partition a larger root area.

So here's what I have - can someone tell me what I've done wrong?


Disk /dev/tssdcarda: 2021 MB, 2021654528 bytes
20 heads, 19 sectors/track, 10390 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 380 * 512 = 194560 bytes

         Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/tssdcarda1               1        1000      189990+   c  W95 FAT32 
(LBA)
/dev/tssdcarda2            1001        1022        4180   da  Non-FS data
/dev/tssdcarda3            1023        1044        4180   da  Non-FS data
/dev/tssdcarda4            1045       10390     1775740   83  Linux

After partitioning

I did the following:
 From the original working card I did:
dd if=/dev/tssdcarda2 of=sd2.dd bs=65536
dd if=/dev/tssdcarda3 of=sd3.dd bs=65536

Then created a tarball of the stuff on /dev/tssdcarda4

Then on the new card I did the following:

dd if=sd2.dd of=/dev/tssdcarda2 bs=65536
dd if=sd3.dd of=/dev/tssdcarda3 bs=65536

mkfs /dev/tssdcarda4

Then I untarred the tarball mentioned before.

Any help would be appreciated.
