Another fine mess I've gotten myself into, Ollie...

I have been a Linux user for a very long time, but only at the user level.  I 
can install, compile, etc, but I've never worked with file systems much.

I've been working on getting a new kernel built for my 7200, one that
supports ham radio.  I managed to build the kernel without errors by
following the instructions at
http://www.embeddedarm.com/about/resourccde.php?item=485 almost to the
letter.  The menu interface was a little different, but I managed.

I followed the directions to copy the zImage file over to the CF card
(at /dev/sdb1), dd if=arch/arm/boot/zImage of=/dev/sdb1, it seemed to
copy.  I unmounted the cf, popped it into the 7200 and fired it up.
It failed with a kernel panic.  I moved the CF back over to my
development machine, and it seems that my dd blew away my entire
filesystem on the CF.

Any ideas as to what I did wrong?  Thank you for any information!
