The Raspberry Pi can only boot from an SD card and the partition layout matters (e.g. /boot needs to be primary, FAT32, bootable and probably the first partition -- there is no bootloader like grub AFAICT). # parted -l Model: SD SD08G (sd/mmc) Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7948MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 79,7MB 78,6MB primary fat32 boot 2 79,7MB 336MB 256MB primary linux-swap(v1) 3 336MB 7947MB 7612MB primary ext4 The ext4 partition only holds about 630 MiB of data (Debian base install + SSH server). I want to create an image that I can: * reuse myself later (just dd to some SD card) * distribute to possibly not very knowledgeable people Actually, I already have the image (with GNU ddrescue --sparse), but it's about 5 times bigger than expected, which makes it difficult to store and/or distribute :( Hope this explains, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
