I am trying to build a RSEL7 image on a USB hard drive for my pogoplug.
I got an Inland 40Gb USB HD and used gparted to delete the DOS
partition. I then created the RSEL partitions with:
parted /dev/sdb mklabel msdos
parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary ext3 4 211
parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary linux-swap 211 735
parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary ext4 735 8020
mke2fs -t ext3 -L uboot /dev/sdb1
mkswap /dev/sdb2
mke2fs -t ext4 -L rootfs /dev/sdb3
untared the files onto the drive
tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/ -Jxvf /home/rgm/arm/RSEL/RSEL7-rootfs.tar.xz
tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/lib/modules -Jxvf
/home/rgm/arm/RSEL/f18-modules.tar.xz
tar -C /run/media/rgm/rootfs/lib/firmware -Jxvf
/home/rgm/arm/RSEL/f18-firmware.tar.xz
tar -C /run/media/rgm/uboot/ -Jxvf /home/rgm/arm/RSEL/f18-uboot.tar.xz
fixed etc/fstab
/dev/sda3 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults,noatime 0 0
And booted the pogoplug with only this drive attached. Serial console
shows:

Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" to try again
to boot into default mode.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
I can send you the whole boot process, but it seems only sda1 is having
this problem with being thought as a FAT partition, even though I did
format it as ext3.
What to do next?
