Boot into Foonas EM [4]
fdisk -l fdisk /dev/sda
remove all exiting partitions using the 'd' option
then just create a swap and a root partition
foonas-em$ fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 60801. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 mkswap /dev/sda2
mount your new partitions
foonas-em$ mkdir -p /mnt/rootfs foonas-em$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/rootfs cd /mnt/rootfs
drop the rootfs tarball into /mnt/rootfs and untar it
foonas-em$ tar -xvzf test.tgz
reboot
Wait ages for the first boot to come up...
