I've searched the archives to some extent, but I couldn't find anything relevant.. If however, I missed something, please point me in the right direction..
I'm attempting to install Bering rc3 onto a CF card, which will go into my soekris 4501. I'm using RedHat 7.2 running on my IBM thinkpad (which has a CF adapter built into it) to place the files on the CF. However, the 4501 just refuses to boot it. I've followed the instructions at http://www.franzdoodle.com/bering/net4501_cf.txt, and also the very similar set at http://www.mail-archive.com/leaf-cvs-commits@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00074.html. I wasn't sure how the CF was supposed to be made bootable as listed in the franzdoodle docs, there was no mention of running syslinux on the CF (which I did anyways), and I even tried adding "serial 0 19200" to the top of syslinux.cfg, to see if it was even booting syslinux, which is doesn't appear to be. the CF I'm using is a Transcend 32mb that worked fine w/ emBSD. I used linux fdisk to partition it w/ 1 partition, spanning the whole CF, of type "FAT16" (hde1), and made the partition bootable. I copied all the files over from the floppy image, replaced the kernel w/ one I compiled (2.4.19) w/ serial support and serial console support built in, copied over the ide and natsemi modules, and edited added the ttyS0 getty to inittab and securetty.. Any idea where I can start troubleshooting?
