Booting From SD/SDHC
Many thanks to BlissBryan for posting the details on getting eeebuntu booting from a SD card.
I've had success in copying the eeebuntu livecd onto an SD card and getting it to boot. I used the techniques outlined here in Installation/FromUSBStick to boot the livecd on the SD card. One modification I needed was to edit the kernel command line arguments to include acpi=off in syslinux.cfg otherwise the EEE PC would freeze on bootup.
This can be done without editing the file by pressing F6 at boot time and check acpi=off on the popup menu. Close the menu and hit enter to boot.
After this I tried doing a persistent boot outlined here in LiveUsbPendrivePersistent. I made my first partition fat32 and the 2nd partition ext3. There is a bug fix outlined in this article called [hardy] livecd: keyword "persistent" results in busybox and (initramfs). I fetched the initrd.gz included in the article and replaced it with the one in the casper directory. So now I am booting the livecd and I have persistence on a 2GB SD flash card.
