I still can't seem to get this to work on my XO.

I have the latest firmware, the developer key on my USB stick
in /security/develop.sig, I ran "disable-security" in Open Firmware, and
I copied the image to the nand.

I no longer get the frowny face, I can't get past "Loading ramdisk image
from nand:\boot\initrd0.img ...".

Is this a symptom of the SD card support issues?
