Steps to Building a Pogoplug iRODS: Prepare USB Boot Disk

The notes are a little sparse on the Pogoplug site.

Starting at this link:

I believe that I am working with a Pgogoplug V2.

The Pogoplug Pro stuff using Linux kernel version 2.6.31.6.

The Pogoplug V2, Pogoplug Biz, and Pogoplug V1 using Linux kernel version 2.6.22.18.

This doesn't match what I read on the web.

What is the current system?

Linux Pogoplug 2.6.22.18 #44 Mon Aug 10 12:57:36 PDT 2009 armv5tejl unknown

Didn't add the boot loader.

Trying to reboot.

It doesn't seem to be coming back.

Testing the drive on my linux box.

Can't really test ARM code on an Intel box :-)
