I want to run a 32 MB IDE flash memory as my HD for bering uclibc 2.2.3.
According to the directions, I need to give it a first bootable partition
and DOS format it.
Call me a stupid noob but I don't know how to do that. The drive is 6
months old but I have never ever used it before.
Would someone please give me instructions on how to do this using windows
XP. I could also but could also use knoppix if its easier.
Thanks,

http://www.bootdisk.com/ Windows is not nice to do this as I think you
have to use lock to get it to work in windows. You can download a DOS
disk from http://www.bootdisk.com/ and use fdisk and format.
You need to make sure the BIOS on your computer is correctly setup to
read the CF. You can then use syslinux.com in DOS. It is available on
the net and probably in the LEAF.
syslinux -s c:
assuming the CF is recognized as the C drive.
You can make a stripped LEAF boot diskette with the hdutil lrp and do it
from Linux and follow the instructions listed on the leaf.
syslinux -s /dev/hda1.
After that all you have to do is copy the LRPs over with DOS or plug it
into a CF to USB adaptor and use Windows explorer to copy them over.
