[Soekris] Boot Error with net5501

[TechKid PC]

Have you tried booting off the CF card on a desktop system using a CF->IDE 
adapter to make sure the card is setup correctly? That was one of my 
problems initially. I never had the CF card bootloader setup correctly and 
had a misconfigured lilo.

If that is not the case also make sure that the boot drive is set to 80 in 
the soekris combios. (I also had to disable partition boot).
