mmcblk1p2 (the p2/p3/p4 etc is your partition number).
sfdisk:
First, we need to partition the external sd card, which is represented as device node /dev/mmcblk1 in most cases. In this example, we will have 2 partitions, one partition will be FAT32 for storage, the other LINUX83 for the Android rootfs. Simply run the following i a terminal:
Code:
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 # unmount the mmc for partitioning
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1
,512,C # 512mb partition for FAT32
,,L # the rest of the mmc is LINUX83
,, # empty
,,
Next, to prepare the new partitions for Android installation, run the following and then reboot you device; this will format the first partition in vfat, and the second in ext3:
Code:
mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2
After formatting the partitions and rebooting the device, you can mount the ext3 partition with the following:
Code:
mkdir -p /mnt
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt
cd /mnt
That's as far as I can help - This is untested. Should fix you up.
