eep. Hrmm.. It looks like you're following the directions for one etherboot, but using a different etherboot. If you're using etherboot 5.0.6 with my polled io / file system patch, then you want to:
1) Make sure that compact flash adapter is the primary master (hda not hde as long as you're going to use (hd0,0) ).
2) Just make a regular partition table, make sure the first primary partition is ext2 or ext3, and then save that kernel image as /kernel .
3) Only follow the directions for writted a kernel to the compact flash raw if you're going to use the development branch of etherboot (5.1.8 presently)

Hello Richard i've tried to put the kernel on the compact flash but there are problems here:
Currently the hack for accomplishing this is dd if=elfimage of=/dev/hde bs=4096 seek=1it seems to erase the partition table, do i have to skip some bytes at the beginning of the disk ?
i've tried also with:
dd if=elfimage of=/dev/hde1 bs=4096 seek=1
but linuxbios does not find hd0,0 /kernel when it starts.
i have a question: if i use dd do raw copy from a file to the disk, how can linuxbios use /kernel ? i don't think there is any reference to a file :|
