http://www.berryterminal.com/ is correct.

You will need to use an image writer tool like win32diskimager or dd to 
write the .img file to an SD card though.
(Had issues with the "just move all files stored to a FAT partition" 
method. The rPi bootloader seems to choke sometimes, presumably if the 
files are fragmented. So now using a dd image, that has a FAT partition 
with just the bootloader and kernel and a squashfs partition with 
everything else)

If you want to give it a try:

Uploaded my buildroot source bundle to the site.
Building for another board should be a matter of:

- type "make menuconfig" -> select the architecture and cross compiler 
toolchain for your board.

- type "make" and grab some coffee.

- It will spit out file system images in both ext2 and squashfs flavor. 
You can write those to a disk PARTITION using "dd". Things like 
partitioning and adding the kernel/bootloader stuff specific for your 
board is something you need to do manually.


Be aware that only the basic functionality works right now, still have 
to get things like sound working properly.
