Sorry for my late response. I think its not so much as to what partitions the kernel kan find or not. The sd0 is found and thats a good start :) Have you made sure that the needed filesystem is compiled in the kernel? I see that FFS is standard build in in the NSLU2 kernel. If you want an install kernel look at RPI_INSTALL; copy it to NSLU2_INSTALL and change the RPI reference to NSLU2 and there you go! If anything, this gives you a command promt to run disklabel on sd0 to check if all went right. With regards, Reinoud
