if we follow this page
http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleboardRevC3Validation
we just make one partition, and we dont copy angstrom image and Linux
did run.
then why we make 2 partitions and copy angstrom image ?
i mean to say what is the difference between the two ?
I am able to boot from SD card using first way but when i tried to do
it by second way,it gives strange errors.
The first method (as described in the link you gave) is for running
the validation image only - the file ramdisk.gz contains everything
that's needed in that case.
The method involving two partitions is for using Angström in its full
glory. It wouldn't be practical (or maybe even impossible? I'm no
expert on these things) to fit the whole root file system into a
ramdisk archive. So we have one partition for boot and the other for
holding the actual filesystem.
It might help to double-check everything with the second method again,
then post the "strange errors" you are getting and ask for help.

For a root filesystem FAT32 is not going to work for linux, but this
filesystem is required for the MLO bootloader system used by the OMAP.
Also be advised that for a rev C4 board, the RevC3Validation page is
the wrong one you should use the files here:

I'm told the links and cross-references are being cleaned up to make
this clearer.
