I'm sorry but I need some help here (thanks in advance):

1)  /proc/partitions contains:

sda
sda1
sda2
sda3

2) when lauching parted on a secondary console, it says

blablabla...  Using /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
I suppose this is a "devfs path"

So, looking in /dev/scsi/......./lun0, I found

disc
part1
part2
part3

So have I to dd if=vmlinux of=/dev/scsi/....../lun0/part1  ??

What I made first last evening was (after chroot on /target ) 
dd if=vmlinux of=/dev/sda1
with apparently no error (except that the machine is not booting). What did 
happened then ?Isn't there a kind of compatibility ?

I made / the 3rd partition, yes.
