[Soekris] Boot Error with net5501

[Eric Boudrand]

An update. I succeeded in booting to a pfSense CF. I used physdiskwrite
under Windows with "Remove 2GB restriction". I was also able to boot on
a M0n0wall CF. I used also physdiskwrite without "Remove 2GB
restriction". So, my dd arguments was not the good one.

Regards.
