Hi Tim, You can use either CF or SD cards, and even NFS or USB disks. The easiest way to set up altboot is just to format a CF or SD card as ext2 or ext3 and unpack the Angstrom rootfs on it. Install altboot, plug in the card, and when prompted to "Press any key to start Altboot," do so and follow the instructions to pivot_root into the new medium. It works very well for me with the latest build--no problems yet!
