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??
