I have found Lilo installs from within chroot a bit flakey - some times I have to re-run the command a couple of times. I have no idea why. Grub seems easier to install, but doesn't always work - I found that the same CF card with grub as bootloader worked on one 4801 and not another. Jonathon

I want to duplicate this to a 2GB CF card. I'm using about 1.2G of drive space currently. I've been unable to make the soekris boot on CF. On CF, I set up 1st partition as swap (256MB), then 2nd as ext2. With CF mounted as hdb2, I ran "lilo -r /mnt/hdb2 -C /etc/lilo.conf". That was supposed to take care of the boot sector. Then I copied the files over from HD to CF from toplevel of HD root using cp -a (direrctory), one at a time . After that, I set flash=primary from soekris BIOS. When I try to boot, I get kicked back to the BIOS menu, BIOS say "no boot device available". Boots fine from HD after I set flash=secondary. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks for your time.
