Bannerbomb Question - Installation

Ok I already have the HBC im just wondering how to use Bannerbomb so I can download it for my friend who is on the latest System Menu (unfortunatly) -_- Anyway I was looking at the guide and this caught my attention on what you need:

SD (or SDHC, only on sys menu 4.0) card formatted as FAT16 or FAT32.
SD card reader for PC or a PC with one built-in
Bannerbomb channel data
Some homebrew to load

FAT16 or FAT 32 How do I format it to that?

and the bannerbomb channel data I assume you get when you download the program. But as for "Some homebrew to load" what does that mean? If im downloading bannerbomb to install the HBC on a Wii that does not have it... why would the Wii have "Some Homebrew to load" already there? Sorry if this is obvious but im not getting that.

One last thing...I was reading also the installation procedure, and I saw this step:
Take your Wii executable, name it "boot.dol" or "boot.elf" if it isn't already, and save it in the root directory of your SD card.
Have no clue what that means :)

Bannerbomb channel data is bannerbomb's private folder. Some homebrew to load would be the hackmii installer. When you download the hackmii installer it is downloaded as
"installer.elf" you must rename it to boot.elf and the root is the very beginning part of the sd (not in any folders)

Ok simple enough :) But in my other topic about bootmii I was wondering how hackmii is activated once I install it and where do I put the file on my SD Card once I download it? In the root?

Yup. drag it into the root and run bannerbomb.

Sweet. I got all my questions asnwered now. :) I appreciate it

Ok just a quick question. I downloaded the "aad1f_v108.zip" file and saved the "private" folder to the root of my SD card. Then I downloaded the Hackmii Installer and saved the "boot.elf" file to the root of my SD as well. But when I download the Hackmii I noticed a folder there named "wiiload" next to the boot.elf file. The instructions dont mention this folder so should I ignore it or am I all ready to install Homebrew?

You're ready to install, don't worry about the wiiload folder. If you're curious as to what it is though, you can read up on it here. :)
