I am trying to turn my 57) into a netbook by using a Cf card and an
adapter like this one:

Problem is that the 570 does not 'see' the CF card as a drive at boot
time. I know the adapter and CF card are good because I used the same
set to create a Linux boot on an HP laptop.
Any ideas?
If you can, *partition* and format the card while it's in the 570.
ThinkPads often use different drive geometry from other platforms,
making the partitions created on other platforms invisible.
I never get that far. The adapter does not show up on the boot device
list. And, after booting Knoppix from a cd, it is still not seen. There
is just /dev/hdc which is memory.
The same adapter/CF card assembly works fine in a <cough> HP <cough>
machine I have.
