Re: Generating bootable system directly to compac flash on host ?

Perhaps the most direct way to accomplish this is simply to:

1. Use the 'Install to target system' deployment method to generate
the kernel and root filesystem (see section 3.7 of the manual).

2. Mount the CF card on the cross-development host.

3. Transfer the kernel and root fs images to the CF card.

4. Set up lilo on the CF card.

5. Move it over to the target and boot.

Alternatively,  using the rsync-based 'Install to target system' 
functionalilty
directly, keeping the CF card installed on the target, might work for you,
since you do have an Ethernet interface on the target.
