Hi Ian,

I have to admit I have not had time to out this on my SD card yet but I have
booted it from the neo normally.

Looks like your problem is that you do not need the developer rootfs or the
toolchain to boot into qtopia from the sd card.

Inside /path/to/qtopia/qtopia-4.3.0-preview-neo-flash.tgz as you noted is
the rootfs and the uImage. These are the only two you need. uImage in /boot/
and rootfs in /

If I have time tonight I will confirm this for you. always too busy with
work...
