Something like:

mount -n -o remount rw /

Should work. I didn't have any problems mkfs'ing
/dev/hda2. Now if building the cross compiler was
as easy.... http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/

Any of the empeg peeps like to give us a clue to
how exactly they did theirs? I found the gcc cross
compiler faq - but wasn't sure what type the tarfer
system was - arm-aout or arm-coff. Also which lib
did you use glibc or newlib?

Some example code showing how to drive the display would
also be useful.
