And make sure the kernel is on the first partition, which must not be larger than 32 MB. So you will probably want a 16MB (or something) first partition with the kernel, and the rest of the card on a second partition with any fs type you like. Finally, it can only boot from SD cards; MMC cards fit in the slot and work once the system has booted, but cannot be used to boot from.
