I could not read it back, but using /dev/mmcblk0 it showed up somewhere near the beginning (it was cat to /dev/mmcblk0p1 though)

showed up at partition start

I saw the contents only once and about at the same place when catting it to /dev/mmcblk0p1 (Freerunner)
Once at the beginning and once about where 1 partitions starts (PC).

same result :( (Freerunner)
On my PC FAT32 and ext3 work ...

Note that I booted using Qi and system is on NAND (kernel 2.6.29)
