There are two ways that I've used:
1) Stick the CF card in a card adaptor and write an image from a desktop 
machine.
2) Boot the Soekris via PXE (network boot) and install via the network.

#2 is the only one available on the models that have the flash soldered 
on the board.

The pyramid folks has a very nice installer and a PXE walkthough here:
