boot filesystem requirements
« on: October 12, 2004, 01:47:45 am »
Formatted my SD card to ext2, and now I want to reflash -- do I have to reformat the card to FAT, or will the flashloader accept ext2? (don't have a CF card, using wireless in that slot)

thanks

You will have to reformat to FAT16 (not FAT32) or you won't be able to flash.

I've never seen or heard of a zaurus that could flash from ext2.
