I have not installed on a net5501 in years, but what you can do is install
on an ordinary machine and then copy your installed OS back to the CF-Card.

I often do this in a VM with an attached volume of the exact size of the
card/disk (in my case a ZFS volume), then optimize everything including
serial terminal (also virtualized) and copying it then to the card/disk.
