Well, I hope someone will speak up, because I can offer only some general remarks, having no on-hands experience with CompactFlash: * if possible, use IDE flash - it's easiest to support on various OS-es. * then, try to use M-Systems' DiskOnChip - there is a driver for it. * if not, all devices which are accessible via BIOS INT13h will work as long as you only want to boot from them - once you start the kernel, they are inaccessible. Once upon a time some people (msmith) were trying to write a disk driver using BIOS INT13h and VM86, and failed (AFAIK they still have nightmares from that experience... ;-) * and finally, I have no idea what is the interface between the CompactFlash and the rest of the h/w and s/w.

The DiskOnChip works fine if you are using them as a second drive. You can't boot from it unless your BIOS also has the right support for it. There may be some compatibility issues between the BIOS access and kernel access to the DiskOnChip. Anyone else have experience with this?

I'm lost - is there some way to make this easier than it seems? :) Any advice gratefully accepted. Once I get this going, I'll ask the obvious horrible question, how do I make an ATA flash card bootable :) (I understand that will be BIOS dependant).
