On the mission of getting a XS image running on the XO, I have abused
imagecreator (part of livecdtools) to create an ext3 image based on

Insert SD card, open a root shell.
mount -o remount,dev /

Cool, so I need both -- the XS has no pretty boot to speak of, so thaw

reappeared.
I will try the new firmware in the next couple w
