Additional info on the error:
After it gives me the bad magic error it fails to initiate console. Using the beta 3 btw, seems to boot up normally besides that as it then it asks for a username and pass to continute on after that point. I just log on with root and after that point, well I'm stuck.
As others have said, Bad Magic only means that Linux is operating normally
on the Zaurus' NAND.
Finding a root console, and getting dumped to a shell is also normal operation
If you've used MSDOS in the ancient past, or the Windows command shell,
the Zaurus' bash shell works in much the same way.
You type a command line to run programs; some shell builtins handle simple
file maintenance.
'ls' for 'list files'
'cd filename' to change directory
'df' to list disk usage/capacity
'mount' to see what file systems (partitions) are mounted
and when you're ready to try start the X Windowing System,
'startx'
(also, if you type a command that doesn't seem to be working, and the shell appears to be stuck, <ctrl>C will generally abort the active process running ontop the shell)
and, welcome to Linux
