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:
- Make sure that compact flash adapter is the primary master (hda not hde
as long as you're going to use (hd0,0) ).
- Just make a regular partition table, make sure the first primary
partition is ext2 or ext3, and then save that kernel image as /kernel .
- 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)
Ah my bad. Looks like my howto is in error then. I only have the building of etherboot seperated out. I didn't realise the boot method was different as well.
Adam can you do a short writeup on building etherboot 5.0.x apply your patches and then the process above? I'll make 2 different sections in my FAQ/HOWTO) one for each etherboot version.
