Untar the VL tarball and run the installation provided by distro. Target disk was the CF card (/dev/sdb) attached via a USB card reader. The install script creates the partition, formats it, copies the OS and installs the Grub boot loader customized to the hardware platform. In my case I choose 5501. The grub.cfg file is customized to display on the serial console with speed 19200 (default on 5501). >> When I put the CF cards in the net5501, it fails to recognize the cards. > > Does it list the cards as hard disks during the POST?

Meanwhile, I have been experimenting with Vyatta 6.4 (derivative of Debian). I installed the distro on the very same CF and the 5501 does recognize it! However, it has it's own issues :( I will start another thread with the details of the issues encountered with Vyatta 6.4 on 5501.
