Jamshaid, I've noticed how you are struggling through the past weeks getting your net5501 to work. This should be a 5-10 minute process of writing the CF card, booting the net5501 and following the install instructions Michael pointed out. That simple.
Clearly this is not the situation in your case... :-(
Possibly there is something wrong with your net5501, did you purchase it new,
ebay, ? Are you using a SanDisk CF card ? Are you using comBIOS ver. 1.33c ?
The fact that AstLinux is using /dev/sdb, is a clue that you may not be using a
SanDisk CF card.
For reference I'm posting my net5501's comBIOS startup using the serial port at
19200 baud. Type Control-P to get into the comBIOS Monitor, then type "show"...

Post your results here as I have done above.
During the install process, after the Format and 1st reboot, where does it fail
? That text off the serial port would be very useful.
