@Lucas: JFYK - Embedded Linux is different from Desktop Linux by the fact that the kernel and initial ramdisk does not reside within a file system (aka boot partition), but within a raw partition, that is a portion of un-partitioned space which cannot be mounted as usual, but only dumped with dd. Additionally, there is a boot loader - uboot - which knows at which raw offset the kernel can be found.
Many Android devices work like this as well, e.g. the Sony PRS T1 reader.
