For those of you braving ARM installations, I tried an sd-based
installation this week and updated the instructions on the wiki
page. Elfy, Carla, et la, I can confirm your findings of this bug(s):

Got today's .img
Tried following the wiki to the letter.
I am almost positive I am doing something wrong here :)
I do *sudo umount /dev/sdd
*I do *sudo dd bs=4M if=quantal-desktop-armhf+omap4.img
of=/dev/sdd ; sudo sync
*It looks like it's doing something - terminal tells me it's done
something.
If I try to just boot the image on the card without worrying about
installing it - left hand board led lights up only.
File manager tells me there is exactly nothing on the card.
Gparted tells me that there now no partitions on the card.
Now - what I am not sure of is whether I have other bugs on this
12.10 system I run causing all this lol
Elfy, what's 'sudo fdisk l' show.? /dev/sdd is your usb disk right?
:-) And yes, after your run the dd command, the usb disk should
have partitions on it and files..one is a boot partititon, athe
other contains the installer and files.

Whoops - there's a blank one flying about too ...
Anyway - this is fdisk/umount/dd and then fdisk again
sudo fdisk -l

You umounted /dev/sdc :-) You have to unmount a parition anyways, so
it would be something like /dev/sdd1, etc. Try putting a partition on
/dev/sdd , making sure you can mount it, and then issuing the dd
command. Obviously it will be wiped by dd, but let's confirm the
disk is working.

Hello,
I tried too to download today's image, but strangely it's only 22MB
big, normally it was 660MB.
I tried to copy it to my SD card as I have always done, but when you
then launch gparted you get no partitions on it.
I checked the md5sum and it's ok, but 22M can't be right, could there
be something wrong with the image loaded on the iso tracker ?

Yikes! 22mb file? Elfy, Carla, yep definitely not a valid image. I
marked it for re-build. As I mentioned, this week is going to be crazy
with images failing all over the place. Keep your eyes open!
