In brief summary: All the work is based on the use of the CF as an IDE Disk and can be used to work on HD too. Format the cf as FAT Create a single bootable partition run mkdosfs on it run syslinux on it copy all bering files on it (pay attention to avoid to copy ldlinux.sys over the one created by syslinux) The bering need some modification: you must add 3 modules (ide-mod.o ide-disk.o ide-probe-mod.o) in /boot/lib/modules you must add their names in /boot/etc/modules to make this you must uncompress initrd.lrp cp initrd.lrp /tmp/initrd.gz gunzip /tmp/initrd.gz then you mount mount -o loop /tmp/initrd /mnt then you can access /mnt/boot/lib/modules/ and /mnt/boot/etc/modules to complete the work unmount umount /mnt compress gzip /tmp/initrd reinstall cp /mnt/initrd.gz initrd.lrp I hope this can be useful: I use this on Bering 1.1 stable and it work fine. I have used different CF (an 8M from Canon, some 32M from SanDisk) without problems.
