Well, I decided to stay up late working this one out.  It looks like it 
is working now, but the devices I am using are sd2b and sd2g.  Is this 
perhaps an inside/outside thing on the way partitions are set up using 
FWB HD Tool Kit?

Let me test a bit more, and I will let you konw if the partitions really 
work.

Thanks,
