Re: [SLUG] Reading blocks from SD card

Have you tried using dd?

   dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/myblocks

That would require that you know which /dev entry the device was
mapped-to, after you stick in your SD card, try running "dmesg" and see
if it says that it found and mapped a new device.

If that works, you should be able to mount your output file as a filesystem:

   mount /tmp/myblocks /mnt/floppy -o loop -t vfat
