I have a 32MB Jornada.

type: ESDI
disk: Hitachi ATA  6.0
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 32

8 partitions:

Now, I suggest making a slightly bigger MSDOS partition because you can't 
really shrink a -current kernel down far enough to fit in there along with
hpcboot.exe.

I've just got a 256MB card so I'm can get X installed and running.
