[Soekris] Setting up CF card

[David Cohen]

Hi group,

I have a net4501-60 that I have installed Slackware 11 with a 2.6.20 kernel, using a 4GB laptop drive.   I want to duplicate this to a 2GB CF card.  I'm using about 1.2G of drive space currently. I've been unable to make the soekris boot on CF.

On CF, I set up 1st partition as swap (256MB), then 2nd as ext2. With CF mounted as hdb2, I ran "lilo -r /mnt/hdb2 -C /etc/lilo.conf". That was supposed to take care of the boot sector.  Then  I copied the files over from HD to CF from toplevel of HD root using cp -a (direrctory), one at a time .  After that, I set flash=primary from soekris BIOS.  When I try to boot, I get kicked back to the BIOS menu, BIOS say "no boot device available".  Boots fine from HD after I set flash=secondary.

Can anyone offer advice?  Thanks for your time.
Dave
