Insert pcmcia adapter w/microdrive into a pc or laptop running linux. This assumes the microdrive will be recognized as "hdc". Check the kernel message log to be sure. (otherwise you may wipe out the "hdc" drive which is *not* the microdrive)
mke2fs /dev/hdc1 mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt tar xfz fs.tgz cd boot cp zImage . cp ramdisk.gz .
