Ok Little update. Pretty frustrating this I have the rootdisk, firstly the microsd in the chumby seemed to be write only so i spent £5 on a new 1gb microssd. All good there. So I connect the usb reader up to linux. According to instructions from the web i did this:
fdisk -l to find out that it is /dev/sdb1 then fdisk /dev/sdb1 to make a 1gb linux partition then mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 then i try to mount like this: mkdir /mnt/sdb1 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 error no such dir so i try mount /dev/sdb1 ok bit more info this time. I need to edit /etc/fstab so I edit this file by running my text editor with sudo as root, save it with the new line for this usb drive, try to mount again. Still nothing ! What am I doing wrong here ?
