I reformatted the HD ext3, with a 49 GB part, a swap and 100 GB partion.
Plugged it in the pogopig
got as far as this:- :(
Pogoplug:/tmp$ ./kirkwood.debian-wheezy.sh

This script will replace the bootloader on /dev/mtd0.
If you lose power while the bootloader is being flashed,
your device could be left in an unusable state.
This script will configure your Dockstar to boot Debian
from a USB device. Before running this script, you should have
used fdisk to create the following partitions:
/dev/sda1 (Linux ext2, at least 400MB)
/dev/sda2 (Linux swap, recommended 256MB)
This script will DESTROY ALL EXISTING DATA on /dev/sda1
Please double check that the device on /dev/sda1 is the correct device.
By typing ok, you agree to assume all liabilities and risks
associated with running this installer.
If everything looks good, type 'ok' to continue: ok

I wonder if this was why I put arch on it about 2 years ago ?????
All the documentation on line is pretty ancient , well for linux it is.
Any ideas, not sure if this list is even still active??
