I installed a 8GB mirco SD card on my N66U running merlin 380.58. I am not great in my linux commands and or skill, so shame on me first off. I am able to boot up the router just fine. Also i seemed to have formatted the SD card as sda1. Below is some of my output. Just wanted to find out if there is anything here i should be concerned with.

admin@R1:/# fdisk -l

It's there working, all fine.
 
Working, but 2 tips:
1. Format it as ext2 to minimize write operations and longer its life a little:
umount /dev/sda1
mke2fs /dev/sda1

2. Lable it to mount always under the same point:
tune2fs /dev/sda1 -L MySDcard

Now it will always be mounted under /tmp/mnt/MySDcard after reboot.
