- the fat32 partition only loads the kernel and kexts, the rd=disk?s3 then mounts the retail DVD and runs the installer from there. Further testing seems to indicate that all you need on the FAT32 drive is mach_kernel and /S/L/E, so you can do this with a very small pen drive.
- if you look at the dd statement for boot0 it has bs=400 count=1, by only writing 400 bytes you don't blow away the partition table. I don't know for sure how much you can write before it goes boom but 400 works with RC3.

Thanks, I'll fix those. I'm surely confused about the arch flag then, reading the docs had me believing it was a kernel flags parameter. I'll just remove it since I don't understand it and an ATOM will only run 32bit.
