Using "genkd" is deprecated.  If you read the instructions on the 
http://doc.astlinux.org website, you'll see "genunion" is the preferred method. 
 This allows you to use the internal flash card for both the operating system 
and persistent storage.

Unionfs has been the preferred and only officially supported persistent storage 
method since version 0.6.  You can use a second storage device, but you'll have 
to specify the path to that device.  (since the internal CF slot is seen as 
/dev/sda in the 1.0.x release series, your USB drive is probably showing up as 
/dev/sdb-you'll have to check on your system).

Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Fwd: accessing usb card from net5501

My permanent storage runs from a usb drive but I did not ran the astlinux 
setup.... I first let it astlinux come up prompting me to go through the setup 
of the type of storage I wanted and at that point I console in and from there I 
setup the usb drive using genkd... Than I reboot astlinux and went through the 
setup and it automatically found my usb drive for permanent storage.

Thank You,
