Hi Alimater,

I have no problem booting it from the Debian Sarge installer. Following is
my PXE configuration:

PROMPT 1
DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
  KERNEL vmlinuz.di
  APPEND initrd=initrd.gz devfs=mount ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0
  IPAPPEND 1

I have not tested the HD, but it works with CF.

It looks like you may have problems with your initrd then.
