How do I format the disk? I've installed the car2-builder-20011022.upgrade but when it boots I just get:

[SNIP early boot stuff]
Press Ctrl-A to enter pump...VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
change_root: old root has d_count=1
Trying to unmount old root ... okay
Freeing unused kernel memory: 4k init

And then it hangs. Nothing else. Any hints?

My empeg crashed during sync and began panicing at boot so I'm trying to bring it back to life.

Thanks for your time,

Sumner
