Setting the byte size with dd didn't help, but everything is running fine as it
is so I suppose I don't really care.
Is there a documented method of creating a new SD card that includes creating a
partition table and dumping the initrd, kernel, and system files onto it? I've
attempted a couple of ways but I can't seem to get the mbr (?) to work as it
won't load on startup.
