Booting EVMDM368 using SD card throws errors while copying data into SD Card

Is the link I referred to while creating partition to prepare my Sandisk 2GB SD card to boot up the EVMDM368.

I was able to format the sd card correctly.

I then removed the sd card and re-inserted it. I checked with #mount to check whether it was auto-mounted. Since it wasn't, i first checked which sdX device it was. In this case it was sdf.

I further checked with #fdisk -l to check the partions, which were sdf1 and sdf2.

Now when mounted manually, I tried this:

#mkdir /media/sdcard

#sudo mount /dev/sdf /media/sdcard

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

So i did this:
#sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /media/sdcard
#sudo mount /dev/sdf2 /media/sdcard

This seemed to work and my sdcard now has a lost+found folder, but no dm3xx.dat as desired.

Hence when I perform the next step according to the aforementioned URL, i.e. copy data into the sd card
either using
#make install
or
#sudo ./dm3xx_sd_boot data /media/sdcard


I get the error that

./dm3xx_sd_boot data
copying data to
Writing /media/*/dm3xx.dat
openning data file: No such file or directory
failed to build data image

which is pretty obvious considering that dm3xx.dat is non existent. How should I solve this? Am i not mounting the /sdX properly after re-inserting the card? Please advise.
