[Peeweelinux] DiskOnChip Boot Problems

[K West]

For anyone that may be interested, I answered my own question.  The problem 
is the sfdisk command in the PeeWee script pwl_target_load.  The sfdisk 
command attempts to create a partition on the DiskOnChip (DOC) but it 
corrupts the partition table (I think) and renders it unbootable instead.

Be advised that the PeeWee documentation that suggests that all you have to 
do is get the DOC to mount on your development system and PeeWee will do the 
rest is incorrect.  Several script mods are required.
