Hi,

another question concerning the OpenBrick NG: How
works booting from the compact flash? On Soekris boxes
the compact flash is addressed as /dev/hda so a normal
harddisk is simulated. This makes booting from the
compact flash easy (just install the necessary linux
files on the CF, write a bootloader to it and GO!).

How about the OpenBrick NG? I remember to having read
about some special tricks and tools for booting from
CF...
