Hi all, We had a lot of success using 128/256Mb compact flash cards to create fast booting linux servers. The cards are cheapish (~$1 per meg) and can be made to look like a standard IDE hard drive with awesome seak performance (the heads dont move far ;-)
I cant recall exactly how fast we got them to boot in the end but it was a hell of an improvement over the IDE drives. We used a cut back slackware install which even included modules so there would have still been a lot of room for improvement.
