Moving Chrome OS from USB stick to an SD card

Moving Chrome OS from USB stick to an SD card I have been able to install chrome OS on a 4gb flash drive and it boots just fine on my little ASUS eee900A. But I don't to worry about it sticking out of the eee and getting knocked out by accident. And the position of the usb ports on the eee aren't really conducive to prolonged use with the usb stick in.

"raw-copy the USB block device to the SDHC with

dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=8192

make doubly sure you have the right devices for sdX and sdY, or you'll overwrite something... You may want to use /dev/disk/by-id for more descriptive device names.

You may then need to adjust the partition table on the larger device to use the extra space available. If that requires moving partitions around, then maybe you should copy partition-by-partition instead. But you'll probably need to make it bootable by copying over the mbr.
dd bs=512 count=1

If you don't understand what this does, DON'T DO IT. You will OVERWRITE YOUR DISKS."

I run ChromeOS Cherry from a 2GB SD card. It works with my HP mini 1000 broadcom chip set,and a wide array of wireless configurations.
