This is somewhat more complex than it really ought to be. We want to re-partition and re-format the SD Card to have two partitions:
Note that it does not appear to matter if the boot partition is FAT16 or FAT32.
Unfortunately, the default image shipped on the FreeRunner does not provide a tool to format using FAT, and a default Mac OS X install does not provide a tool to format using Ext2. Luckily, there is a project on SourceForge that adds Ext2 support to OS X...
Download and install the Mac OS X Ext2 filesystem from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/ On my Leopard/Intel MacBook Pro I used the 1.4d4 version.
Note that you will be asked to reboot your Mac after the installation has completed.
I use a very cheap Integral Mobile Card Reader, though any Mac compatible SD Card reader should suffice.
Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.app
Select the relevant disk corresponding to the SD Card, and switch to the Partition pane:
Adjust the 'Volume Scheme' to use 2 partitions, and configure the first partition as 'MS-DOS (FAT)' with a size of 8MB, and an appropriate name (I use 'boot'):
Configure the second partition as 'Ext2 File System' using the remainder of the space available, and an appropriate name (I use 'root'):
Apply the changes and wait whilst the two new partitions are formatted:
Grab a suitable kernel image and root filesystem image from http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/
The kernel image (*.bin file) will be copied to the boot partition, whilst the root filesystem (*.rootfs.tar.gz file) will be uncompressed to the root partition.

Ideally, it should be possible to copy all the files to the SD Card using the Mac itself i.e. from Finder. This does work ok for the kernel image, but I have not yet got it to work successfully for the root filesystem.
Hence all the next steps use the SD Card installed in the phone, and SFTP/SSH to copy the files etc.
The kernel image (*.bin) file must be placed on the boot partition (the first, 8MB FAT partition created earlier), and should be named uImage.bin

TODO: Should be using newfs, but newfs complains that the BOOT partition is already mounted. And unmounting the BOOT partition makes /dev/disk1 disappear, hence newfs cannot operate on it...
So, how do we get the device node present (for newfs to work), but without the boot partition being mounted?
