That was probably the smart way to handle to lilo.conf thing. I found a
solution that worked for me, which was installing grub so I could get to
the grub> prompt and get the thing booted by hand with a serial cable,
then fixing the lilo.conf after it was running in the Soekris to
/dev/hdb. Worked, but I like you way better.
As to the PCMCIA support, two things. 1) Does option 2 install a kernel
with less than ideal support for the more advanced CPU in the 4801, and
also, having done thi now, I find that although the PCMCIA support seems
to work OK (at least as far as cardcrl goes) the card I am trying to
make run, an Aircard 750 which I had working on voyage 1.0, does not
fly. The card is seen by the bus, but the /dev/modem is never created.
Although for sure it is something I am doing wrong, but I am wondering
if the "depreciated" nature of the PCMCIA support in this rev of voyage
might be part of the problem, ie, some udev weirdness with the 2.6.15
kernel stuff.
Thanks for the insight, it at least got me to the next level.

Hi Michael,
1) Unfortunately, there is no way to set the target root device in the
voyage.update. You will need to fix it manually
## Put your CF back to knoppix
mount /dev/<CF device on knoppix> /mnt/cf
vi /mnt/cf/etc/lilo.conf # and change root= line from hda to hdb
chroot /mnt/cf lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf
umount /mnt/cf
2) Pick option 3 (4511/4521) in voyage.update to have PCMCIA support.

I am trying to build a voyage 0.2 boot disk for a Soekris 4801 with a
PCMCIA slot. I am building this on a full x86 PC using a Knoppix
boot. I have a CF card drive in the full PC set to /dev/hda. Two
issues:
ISSUE 1: It no boot. When I make the disk and then move it to the
Soekris 4801 to boot it, I get the following:

The Soekris seems to be seeing this as /dev/hdb, even though in the
Soekris Bios is it set as FLASH=Primary. Is this an issue with how I
am building the voyage disk, or how I am setting up the Soekris
Bios? Soekris BIOS is set as follows (1.28):
comBIOS Monitor. Press ? for help.

ConSpeed = 9600
ConLock = Disabled
ConMute = Disabled
BIOSentry = Enabled
PCIROMS = Enabled
PXEBoot = Enabled
FLASH = Primary
BootDelay = 5
FastBoot = Disabled
BootPartition = Disabled
BootDrive = 80 FF FF FF
ShowPCI = Enabled
Reset = Hard
ISSUE 2: No config choice on voyage.update menu for a 4801 with a
slot card in it.
Explains itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as this has been kicking my rear for
a number of days now. I am sure there is a simple fix short of
re-writing all the scripts till I find the combo that works, and I am
just missing it.
Thanks,
- Michael
