I loaded it on anyway, and I'm having the same error as somebody previously posted. It says something about the SD card root missing, but I can barely read it. I also tried 2 different SD cards.

Any ideas? I'm really interested in this, keep it up!
The file name should be android.rootfs.tar.bz2. If the filename you listed is a typo then ignore this, otherwise, trying to untar a bzip2 archive without bunzipping it first would produce a ton of errors.

In either case, the rootfs should not be extracted for use. If it's showing up on your sdcard as android.rootfs.tar then rename it to android.rootfs.tar.bz2. This should workaround the problem.
