There are two ways to put a distribution into the FR. 1. Put the OS on NAND memory (FreeRunner has 256 MB of NAND Flash). To do this use the dfu-util. Put the rootfs and kernel in the NAND space when you've booted from XOR. Actually you could use neotool [1], it is a GUI for dfu-util. 2. Put the OS onto the SD card. Since you've said you use Qi, you need to put the whole rootfs on a ext2/3 filesystem on the SD card. The kernel goes into the /boot directory. The kernel should be named uImage-GTA02.bin for Qi to detect it properly. See [2] for more info.
