Subject: [Balloon] More Newbie Balloon questions...
Another Newbie question....

Well, got the thing to boot linux eventually (after much cursing, and
waiting the absolute age it takes to do nand erasechip)

Now I'm puzzled as to what the root password of the "shipped" images
should be. Perhaps I've missed this in a faq somewhere, but if anyone
knows it off hand it would be helpful.

Also, I had some concerns about the boot messages....

Is the following normal (Snip from boot messages)

_____________________________________________________________
nand0_boot_size is 0
Initialising Balloon NAND MTD devices.
NAND device: Manufacture ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0x76 (Samsung K9D1208V0M)
Creating 2 MTD partitions on "Samsung K9D1208V0M":
0x00000000-0x00100000 : "nand boot"
mtd: Giving out device 1 to nand boot
0x00100000-0x02000000 : "nand root"
mtd: Giving out device 2 to nand root
Initialising of First Balloon NAND MTD was successful.
No NAND device found!!!
Unable to find second Balloon NAND device.

(Not finding a second Nand device - is this because there is no
Smartmedia card - or socket even - installed?)

(which concerned me more, with the "Failed write"... bits)
