Okay, Just to check I am sane I will now demonstrate how to install an
image to SDHC card, there will be no camera tricks or fudges:
As root:

Just for good measure

Now I insert an SDHC 8GB card, on this system. I have 1 hard
drive(/dev/sda) and one USB Drive(dev/sdb)
the SDHC card becomes /dev/sdc
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
bash-4.2# dd if=slackwarearm-14.0-8GB-20130623.img of=/dev/sdc bs=65536

------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
Well that took a while! Now I pop the SDHC card into a random Raspberry
Pi and boot and ... Er ..it just boots up.
