Eucalyptus bfEBS images

Question

I am trying to create a Eucalyptus EBS backed image from an Ubuntu cloud image. I have tried all sorts of different methods I have found on Google and nothing works. I have tried creating a new partition, labeling it cloudimg-rootfs and verifying both fstab and menu.lst are looking for that. I have tried just dd from the image to both the disk itself and to a primary partition and several other methods.. Nothing works. Does anyone actually know how to get a bfEBS going on eucalyptus?

Thanks!
