Howdy! I'm trying to install from a Compact Flash IDE card using the USB stick recipe found at http://www.debian.org/releases/3.1/i386/ch04s04.html.en with Etch images from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
This installation will go into a device whose only mass storage media is a Compact Flash card connected via the IDE bus. I have a Compact Flash reader on my workstation to be able to write the debian-installer and related files to the media before putting the card into the target device to launch the installation. The problems I'm currently experiencing: 1) every time I write the ready-to-use boot.img.gz to /dev/sda1, the 512Mb media ends up showing as a 128Mb media afterwards. 2) the device cannot seem to find the boot sector of the media. Any help towards making this boot is immensely appreciated. Best Regards, -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi
