[Peeweelinux] compact flash

[Adi Linden]

Yes, pwlconfig will fdisk and format the device. However, I have had cases 
where devices didn't get fdisked properly. That is usually the case when 
fdisk can't determine (or wrongly determines) the disk geometry.
Run fdisk -l on both CF Cards and compare the output.
