I've got a cf card running as a secondary drive on a Sparc Ultra 5 (Sparc64),
but have not been able to get it to boot.  The cf/ide plug I am using has no
master/slave/cs sets and a microprocessor on it as well, which leaves me 
suspicious
of it because the CF interface is sposed to be a shrunken IDE.  

The sparc boot diags (probe-ide) show no device other than an ide hdd if it is 
attached.

Also, I have experience that IDE disks are addressable after boot if the 
CS/MS/SL is 
set wrong (that is they can have mountable file systems) but will still not be 
bootable
themselves, which further leads me to believe the CF card 2 IDE plug I have is 
useless
for this.  

But I mebbe barking up the wrong tree altogether here and it is just not 
doable...  

Comments/ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Dhu
