That is the easiest way to do it.  After the install, reboot your
laptop, mount the root filesystem on the CF, change sd to wd in
/etc/fstab, and make sure a serial console is set up.  Then plug
the CF into your Soekris.

Or some other hardware component.  Or more likely, the whole system
becomes obsolete first.
