That would work if we were doing a native install to a partition on the SD card, but right now the way Android is run on the TP2, you don't need to (and shouldn't bother to) make an ext2 partition for it. Since you first have to boot Android from Windows Mobile, you have to put the related Android files on a filesystem/partition that WinMo will recognize, which is your regular FAT/FAT32 partition. I'd recommend you reformat your 2GB card as one FAT32 partition, don't bother making a separate ext2 partition yet.
