Hi folks:
We have managed to get working OF 2.2 onto CF 4GB cards. We are
supplying pre-built cards to our customers for our JackRabbit units.
We will also supply OF 2.3 when it comes out formally. OF is patched
up to the latest conary update from 4 weeks ago.
We would be happy to supply pre-loaded cards if users request it
(contact me offline). The image doesn't seem to take on non-identical
cards (had trouble with this).

Sounds interesting. Can you tell me/us why we would want to run OF of CF
cards?
It allows you to use all your drives on your server for storage. It
also frees you from worrying whether or not your driver for your RAID
card (if you are using one) will let you boot without performing major
surgery on OF. It is beneficial in that you can (easily) create
bit-copied backups of your server config after installation with a
simple "dd" command. This makes failure recovery fairly simple.
If none of these things are a concern for you, then you don't need it.
