Anyone seen this before and know a quick fix? Hi All, Quick follow-up. I now have the net4801 booting without issue from the CF card with grub. I re-installed Debian but this time without the IDE HDD installed, set the CF as the primary disk and a small 100MB /boot partition. Not sure which cured my problem but I suspect it was having the small boot partition at the start of the CF. I'm not going to try finding out, just happy that it's working :) -Phil
