Aha!

Output from that looked OK:

done.

Towards the beginning there were some tar timestamp warnings, but I
don't believe they matter, and they stopped after a while once
ntpdate-debian happened.

I did get a few nok's...

Yes, it does, hooray.

And I can now boot my old QtMoko card too.  Great!

Next I'll move on to trying the new QtMoko/SHR card, but I don't have
time for that right now.

Many thanks again,
