Mini HowTo:
0- You need a SDCard with two partitions: 65 MB to boot and the rest for the system!
sfdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 1021 cylinders, 245 heads, 62 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 7777280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *      0+      8-      9-     65536    e  W95 FAT16 (LBA)
/dev/sdb2          8+   1021-   1014-   7695360   83  Linux
/dev/sdb3          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
/dev/sdb4          0       -       0          0    0  Empty

1- Format first SDCard partition as VFAT (FAT16)

mkfs.vfat -n boot /dev/sdb1

2- Format second SDCard partition as EXT3
mkfs.ext3 -L rootfs /dev/sdb2

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/boot
cd /mnt/boot
tar -xvzpf /PATH_TO/ubuntu-12.10-console-am335x-sk-boot-fat-armhf-v2.tar.gz

mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/rootfs
cd /mnt/rootfs
tar -xvzpf /PATH_TO/ubuntu-12.10-lxde-am335x-sk-rootfs-ext3-armhf-v4.tar.gz
