[Buildroot] How transfer what image(s) to target-CF?

[Lennart Ramberg]

Thanks Arnout,

Now, please, for the 'how'-part, that 'put':

How exactly would I here use commands like dd and/or cpio, and in what
order?
Assume the target CF is mounted as /dev/sdX on the host.

To complicate matters :-) I aim at ext3.

Regards
Lennart
