[Soekris] Booting FreeBSD from Kingston CF on net4501

[Yann Ramin]

I have luck booting off of a Toshiba THNCF064MBA card. Its been in the
system for about a week or so, with no problems.  Make sure you set the
geometry of the card correctly, since mine wasn't correctly set by the
OS using a PCMCIA adapter and OpenBSD.
