Hello ,

Now I want to start with the published pebble distribution. However there
are still some problems.

After reading pebble.README in the os tarball, I just follow the
instruction,
1. creating /mnt/cf and /mnt/pebble and  unpack the tarball to /mnt/pebble
2. running ./pebble.update
3. input necessary configuration at the beginning such as install directory
and cf mount point and select for installation for soekris4521
4. Here is the error information I get

Fatal: stat /dev/sdb: No such file or directory
Fatal Error: Failed to chroot to /mnt/cf to install lilo

I suppose the error is due to there is no /dev/sdb device file on the
compact flash card

So can anyone help?

PS. I am running on ubuntu7.1 and I have checked that all the necessary
tools are installed against the README file
