Thanks for that.
In the end, because I failed to work out how to create the correct file
system on the first partition, I ended up dding the first gig of the
image to the card, then re-creating the second partition and rsyncing
the contents.
Appears to have worked as I can now ssh into it :) Which is good, as
I've just realised I have no USB keyboards!
