Re: PandaBoard on RC2

Semi-pilot error. I should be using the -VFAT images, which I just
figured out after two hours spent trying to fix the other one. This is
not documented on the wiki obviously and is a post-beta change, so it
will urgently require attention as anyone following the instructions
from beta will fall into the same trap (and not know how to fix it).

I've pulled down the VFAT images onto a fast remote box and confirmed
with kpartx that they look better. Since it's go-no-go I will stay up
now and do some testing once they come down on ES. Assume that the below
is not a problem because the images do contain boot.scr and partitioning
looks more reasonable in the VFAT ones.
