/boot is ext3, rootfs is ext4. That was the first thing I checked. I am
tempted to start over and clone the card the unit shipped with to the new
card, then repopulate the rootfs. I can get the networking configs out of
the running card. Then maybe I can build a  EL kernel and headers for it,
then build zfs support into the kernel.

I wish I had the screen dump in front of me, somewhere very early in the
initialization process, the chipset identifies itself as Sheeva, so
I thought it would work. I do remember you saying that now... Well, live
and learn.
