Hello List,
Right now I am running a Bering uclib firewall from a floppy. I am
thinking of buying an IDE CF reader to boot the firewall from a CF card.
What would be the easiest way to copy the contents of my current Bering
floppy to a CF card which is mounted as /dev/hda1 and to make the CF

Hello Chera,
The easiest way is to use initrd_ide.lrp (with ide boot modules) from:
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/bering-uclibc/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=3&MMN_position=3:3
if you are using Bering-uClibc 2.3.x
If you are using Bering-uClibc 2.2.x, you can find initrd
Hello Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Does it make sense to create some swap space on
the CF?

No, that isn't necessary or used. Bering-uClibc is running in memory, the
flash is only used for booting.

Hi LIst,
To follow on on my attempts to run Bering from a CF card. I have bought
an IDE card reader and connected it as slave to the primary IDE channel.
When I boot with Bering uclibc 2.2.3 with the initrd replaced by the
initrd-ide-cd I cannot access it as a harddrive.
dmesg gives

Hi Ron, thanks for your reply. My problem is that I am booting from
bering floppy with the initrd-ide-cd and I am trying to follow the
instructions for creating a CF card. I am using an old CF card and I
have no Idea what it contains. I am trying to use fdisk to create a
partition and a MBR on
Hi Victor,
I think I'm out of luck. I have created a bootable CF card using my
laptop with Ubuntu and an integrated card reader. I then tried to boot
from that card with the IDE cardreader on two different systems. A AMD
K5 and a Dell Pentium II 450 (old but good enough for a firewall). The

Follow up on this problem. I have progress of a sort. I attached my
cardreader to yet another computer. The cardreader was attached as
secondary master. This computer had a more modern BIOS which allowed
booting from a LS/ZIP drive. And YES,YES,YES I saw the Bering logo. The
kernel booted but t

Hi Tim,
I wish I had known about the DOM's one week earlier. It sounds perfect
for what I am trying to do.
Thanks for the tip.
