[Peeweelinux] Compact Flash

[Correy Edmed]

Hi

I am currently at work experience and trying to set up peewee linux. I 
have a PCM-3350 GX1 300Mhz Embedded PC and have a Sandisk 256M Compact 
Flash card that I want to install the operating system on.

I have heard bad reports about formatting and partitioning CF cards and 
this is where I am up to at the moment. I guess I need to partition the 
CF card with a boot sector (hda1)  OS (hda2) and swap (hda3).

I have already experimented with the embedded PC using an ide HDD that I 
have installed Redhat 8 on. The CF card just arrived and I placed it in 
the CompactFlash socket and it is recognised in the bios as an ide 
device however I have no idea on how to mount it.

While reading about PCMCIA I noticed in relation to CF cards about 
"ftl_format -i /dev/mem0c0c" however this file (mem0c0c) isn't even in 
my dev directory. Also after reading the man page for ftl_format I 
noticed that you are able to create a boot secotor which perhaps is what 
I need.

Any help on setting up the Compact Flash Card so I can start installing 
peewee linux would be much appreciated.
