How to install archbang on an ext2 SD 8GB?


Hello,
I downloaded the last archbang iso and copied the data of it to my ext2 SD card 8GB
in /boot/arch

It starts booting but stop in the middle of booting

Error: boot drive didnt up after 30s

and it come to the prompt: [ramfs/]#

So.. why?
Which boot codes should I use?

Here is the extlinux.conf entry

#
LABEL arch
TEXT HELP
Boot the ArchBang Linux live medium. It allows you to install ArchBang Linux
ENDTEXT
MENU LABEL Boot ArchBang Linux
LINUX /boot/arch/vmlinuz
INITRD /boot/arch/archiso.img
APPEND archisobasedir=/boot/arch archisolabel=ARCHBANG quiet xorg=vesa nomodeset
#
LABEL archauto
TEXT HELP
Try this option if the first doesn't work
ENDTEXT
MENU LABEL Boot ArchBang Linux [Xorg autodetect]
LINUX /boot/arch/vmlinuz
INITRD /boot/arch/archiso.img
APPEND archisobasedir=boot/arch archisolabel=ARCHBANG quiet
#


EDIT: I had simply to
- put the /arch/ directory (see this directory in the CDROM) on the TOP directory of the SD card
- use the correct label name of my SD 8GB card (NOT ARCHBANG)
and it runs.
Good thing ARCHBANG. Quick.
