+This configuration is intended as a base image, it doesn't have support
+for things like WiFi, either in the kernel or packages.
+
+It also pulls up the console on the serial port, not on TV output.
+
+You'll need a spare MicroSD card with Freescale's special partition layout.
+This is basically two partitions:
+
+1) Type 53, the bootstrap + bootloader/kernel partition, should be 16MB.
+2) Anything you like, for this example an ext2 partition, type 83 (linux).
+
+Assuming you see your MicroSD card as /dev/sdc you'd need to do, as root
+and from the buildroot project top level directory:
+(remember to replace /dev/sdc* with the appropiate device name!)
+
+***** WARNING: Double check that /dev/sdc is your MicroSD card *****
+*****      It might be /dev/sdb or some other device name      *****
+***** Failure to do so may result in you wiping your hard disk *****
+
+1. Unmount the filesystem(s) if they're already mounted, usually...
+
+   # for fs in `grep /dev/sdc /proc/mounts|cut -d ' ' -f 1`;do umount $fs;done
+
+   ...should work
+
+2. Blank the partition table out
+
+   # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 count=1024
+
+3. Set up the partitions
+
+   # fdisk /dev/sdc

+
+4. Fill up the first (bootstrap + kernel) partition
+   # dd if=output/images/imx23_olinuxino_dev_linux.sb bs=512 of=/dev/sdc1 seek=4
+
+5. Fill up the second (filesystem) partition
+   # dd if=output/images/rootfs.ext2 of=/dev/sdc2 bs=512
+
+6. Remove the MicroSD card from your linux PC and put it into your olinuxino.
+
+7. Boot! You're done!
