At a guess, try something like fdisk /dev/mmcd/disc0

Under the new devfs support in pdaXrom, the structure for SD devices looks like this:

Code: [Select]

/dev/
    mmcd/
        disc0/
            disc  <-- The whole SD
            part1 <-- The first partition on the SDTo fdisk your SD you need to use:

Code: [Select]

fdisk /dev/mmcd/disc0/discThen to make the ext2 filesystem, use:

Code: [Select]

mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcd/disc0/part1
