This file is the image of an ext2 filesystem, so you can just copy it
raw to a USB key or the partition of a USB key, and then just mount the
USB key. See
I don't want to be/seem rude, but it seems you lack some really basic
embedded Linux knowledge. May I suggest to order and read a book such
as Building Embedded Linux Systems [1] ?
That would really help you understanding what is going on.
Also you are not explaining what you are trying to achieve *in the
end*. It might be that generating an ext2 filesystem image is totally
useless for what you're trying to do.
Regards,
Thomas
