In my experience, it's easier to mount the image and then recreate on
the media e.g: (and from second glass of wine memory, so check .... )
# qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 $(pwd)/archlinuxarm-13-06-2012.img
# mount /dev/nbd0p2 /mnt/
# mount /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt/boot/
# #### format the SD card for /boot and /
# #### mount the SD card partitions
# rsync -ax --numeric-ids /mnt/boot/ /sdp1-mount/
# rsync -ax --numeric-ids /mnt/ sdp2-mount/
worked for me for Arch, Debian, Raspian images.
and df -hT:
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nbd0p2 ext4 1.8G 505M 1.2G 30% /mnt
So, yes 1G SD should be fine.
