I think the case with CF is the same with USB memory sticks. The kernel
reports the geometry when it's plugged in. Check dmesg for anything
interesting.

There is a mailing list for Dedicated and Embedded Systems based upon 
FreeBSD, Maybe you should ask there.

Nanobsd and CF geometry

Hi,

I'm trying to flash Nanobsd on a Compact Flash which is not listed in 
/usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/FlashDevice.sub.

Does anyone know how to calculate NANO_MEDIASIZE, NANO_HEADS and NANO_SECTS for 
a specific CF, in my case a Transcend 512 MB CF?

I found a datasheet, but I'm not sure what do do with it:

Thanks!
