What Ron used was /dev/hdc, ie, the drive from the beginning, not partition 1. The 4096 and seek=1 skips over the partition table and puts the image into the last part of the MBR/partition table area
On my system if I add the seek option to dd it whines about /dev/hde being an invalid argument as well so I don't think its the partition number thats causing the issue.
'dd if=elfimage of=/dev/hde bs=4096 seek=1'
still generates and Invalid argument but appears to work anyway as I get the proper ammount of records in/out and the CF boots.
