Hello, I've build an image file with opensoekris for 256 mb sandisk compactflash. The writing of the image file takes very long (102188 bytes/sec), see the output below (I interupted it after 20 minutes).
How long should it normally take to write a 256mb to a compactflash card? For me it takes about 42 minutes, is that normal? Thanks for helping!
