Btw, there was still an error in the wiki:
It was "mount /dev/mmcblk2p4 /mnt/sd/my_test" but it should be "mount /dev/mmcblk2p4 /tmp/sd/my_test". Also it read "tar -cvf /mnt/sd/my_test/system.tar" but it should be "tar -cvf /tmp/sd/my_test/system.tar".

The last part didn't work - it gives me this error:
"tar: empty archive"

One more thing - isn't it posible to create an image of the old system partition with dd, mount it and copy it's contents to the new image?
