Re: U5 boot from CompactFlash?

[Dieter Jurzitza <dieter.jurzitza@t-online.de>]

Hi Antonio,
this will always fail (IMHO). To boot from a device makes it neccessary that 
OpenBoot knows about it - I highly doubt this for your CF-card adapter. You 
can only boot from devices that are known to your OB - that's why I boot my 
U60 from a cdrom / Network because the harddisk hangs on the 29160 adapter 
which is not accessible prior to loading the kernel.
Take care



Dieter
