Is the Dockstar installation guide wrong?

Step 4 says:
Set the U-Boot variable to tell the kernel to use ext3:
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv usb_rootfstype ext3

Yet step 7 says:
Create the ext2 filesystem:
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/mke2fs
chmod 755 mke2fs
./mke2fs /dev/sda1
mkdir usb
mount /dev/sda1 usb


I may be wrong, but my understanding of this is it is telling the system to boot from a ext3 hdd/USB, then in the next step it formats your usb as ext2.

I thought I might be wrong because one might refer to the internal NAND rather than the usb, or maybe an ext2 drive will boot off a system setup to ext3.

I'm just curious is all.

Just an update if anyone cares, I wasn't having much luck with the install guide earlier so I ran mkfs as mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdXX and it worked.

The dockstar install guide is almost identical to the one for the Pogoplug v2 except for step 7 where an ext3 filesystem is created. Step 4 did't exist in earlier versions of the guide, so I think they just forgot to adapt step 7 for the dockstar.
