2nd partition is an ext2 partition with the rootfs.*.gz untarred as
per the wiki.
I just checked again, and this is what I have for the SD card;
I'm doing this on a Debian Stable machine

Bloody wierd. Mounted, looked at, umounted, the SD card, reinserted
into the, and it appears to be boot, but the IP address I edited into
the "/etc/network/interfaces" card. does not appear to have taken.
This is why it is so frustrating. One time, nothing works, then things
start working
