Hi,
I have tried etherboot on my machine which has Compact Flash IDE and FLASHROMS(256K/512K). Not successful.. The payload I got was from etherboot-5.0.9, which is rtl8139.ebi which is my ethernet chip.
Did an Compact flash.. fdisk /dev/hdc, created 2 partions hdc1 and hdc2, both of ext3 type. Then dd if=elfImage_of_kernel of=/dev/hdc bs=4096 skip=1
Set these parameters in my config file. option RAMTEST=1 option USE_GENERIC_ROM=1 option USE_ELF_BOOT=1 option ROM_SIZE=524288 option STD_FLASH=1
#payload ../elfImage.9load payload ../rtl8139.ebi option PAYLOAD_SIZE=196608
burned the romimage using the uniflash tool.
It seems to have found the elfimage, but just restarts all over again, could someone please spot what could be the problem and the solution to it. Any help on this would really nice. Please find the log below.

Thanks and Regards
etherboot-5.0.9 is NOT supposed to work. you want etherboot-5.0.6 probably and the patch against it at http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/~agnew/

how is that going to work with compact flash? I may have led you astray but I though I told you to get a payload from etherboot that would load over ide. What motherboard are you using?
You're getting close, though, so congratulations!
