    Post Roto Backup! UPDATED Dec 5 2010

    Rotohammer, why in your instructions for flashing is efs.rfs not on the command line, nor is the .pit file or the secondary boot loader (at least thats what I think the Sbl.bin is). Are these not necessary? Thanks

    Post [Q] compile own kernel? configuration

    I used make menuconfig to specify the location of the initramfs (compression to none). Do not use the build script above the root as that seemed to mess things up for me. The size of my kernel is approx ~5meg with the initramfs included and ~3 without. Then used Heimdall to push it on.
