just root systems, right? I'd love to try Kirkwood on NSA-310.

If you want to test the kernel used in the F18 ARM Beta release candidate the best option is to download the kirkwood image then extract the kernel and initramfs. Here's a link to the image:


http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm-nightlies/vault/f18-beta-rc1/F18-kirkwood-20121220.img.xz

Ucompress and as root use kpartx to expose the partitions as loopback devices:

  xz -d F18-kirkwood-20121220.img.xz
  kpartx -av F18-kirkwood-20121220.img

From here you can mount the partition with the files you need. I'm not sure which one it is so you'll have to experiment:

  mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /somewhere

Good luck, and don't forget to umount and kpartx -d that image when you're done.
