David, I googled 'boot linux from compact flash' and got 831,000 results.
I looked at a couple, for example www.linuxjournal.com/article/4551 which seemed to give a pretty good explanation of how to boot linux from a CF card. Several people have done this, I think one of the guy's in the CAMS CNC group did it with EMC2 but I am not sure, the memory may be playing tricks on me today. I hope this helps.
