Thanks for the instructions, Chris!
It really helped.
I've copied everything and made the CF disk bootable. I can actually boot
now from it!
The problem I have now is that it boots, and when it's going to run init,
it barfs because it's expecting something in fd0.
I reconfigured syslinux.cfg such that it has
boot=/dev/hda1,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hda1
(the CF disk is /dev/hda1)
So i'm not sure why upon boot it's trying to do something with fd0. Is
there something else I need to do to make sure it doesn't attempt to use
the floppy?
