Could you use anything like these, perhaps?

I had a CF PCI slot card once, dont remember where i got it.
Not all CF Flash cards support IDE (some are strictly for cameras).
Many manufacturers add support for IDE on XX meg but not on YY meg so i cant really name a good brand for these.

I've just finished preparing a FreeBSD-based flash-booting router/firewall, which is currently using a DiskOnModule to boot from.

Does anyone know of a PCI-slot flash carrier that can present itself as a bootable IDE drive with an external slot? I've found some PCI-PCMCIA cards, but they all talk about Windows compatibility, and appear to be aimed at digital camera users more than anything...
Answering my own question, mainly so it goes into the archive - these are what I was looking for:

IDE-connected but with optional external slot through a PCI backplane. Not hot-swap, but nice & cheap.
