Don't know if this will help your problem at all, or if I understand the problem the right way at all, but the way I do it is like that:
1. I use the Linux distro Slax http://www.slax.org/
2. From this I use a program called Myslaxcreator to make a bootable USB stick.
3. Then I boot the hardware from the one USB port while I use the other USB port for an other USB stick containing the astlinux image.
4. Then I transfer over the Astlinux image from the USB stick no 2 to the Flash memory.
I think I found all the required commands for transfering the image on the Astlinux user manual.
This procedure were used on A HP thin client with actually 4 USB sockets and one DOM disk on module Flash memory.
Don't know if this was an answer at all, because it was only about transfering an existing image and not about building a new one.

I've been trying to build a CF image from the astlinux development
environment for my net4801 on a Suse 9.3 box.
The actual make goes fine but I'm running into trouble building the flash
image and getting it written to a CF card. I'm using a Sandisk SDDR-33
USB reader that puts the CF card as /dev/sda instead of /dev/hdX.
/dev/loop doesn't seem to behave as wanted either on this box.
I'm seeing the same sort of problems when attempting to build a flash
image of ipcop as well.
Are there any recommendations as to better distros for working with flash
images and writing them to CF cards?
