It could be that they just need to be the same. Does anybody have the balls to try this out.?

Checking my gen3...
Code:
invid:~# fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2420.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 2032 MB, 2032664576 bytes
41 heads, 40 sectors/track, 2420 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1640 * 512 = 839680 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 2421 1984899+ 6 FAT16
Command (m for help): q
invid:~# fdisk /dev/sdb
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 524 MB, 524288000 bytes
256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 63 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16128 * 512 = 8257536 bytes

The file system on both the internal partition (sdb) and the SD card (sda) is vfat.
So the internal partition is FAT32 and the SD card is FAT16 on my Cybook. The reason I have FAT16 on my SD card is probably because I have not reformatted it since I bought it and new SD cards usually have a FAT16 partition.
How big is your SD card?
