I realize that this might be a little general, or even a bit off-topic, but I figured 
that there must be SOMEone who has run into this problem at least once.  I'm currently 
running Bering-uClibc-2.0_rc2 in a single-floppy arrangement, and it's been working 
flawlessly for a couple months.  I use two 1440k floppies instead of a single 1680k, 
since reboots get a little flaky during rapid router development sessions.  These 
problems led me to try to boot Bering off a CF card.

The trouble is that I can't seem to get my system (IBM PC330 6576-series/Intel 
"Triton" chipset) to recognize the CF-IDE internal adapter at ALL.  Another IBM system 
(PC350/dual P200 server) sees it (and will boot linux) no problem.  I've been able to 
confirm that the PC330's BIOS will autodetect other IDE devices without a hitch, but 
the CF adapter can only be seen when it's a slave on a channel with a "true" IDE 
device as master.  The BIOS on this particular system doesn't even offer manual IDE 
configuration.

Weird.  Can anyone offer a similar experience (even with other hardware) or a possible 
solution?  This is driving me crazy, and I don't even want to BEGIN trying to 
configure my wireless PC card without being able to rapidly boot from CF.

Thanks for your help.
