I have a small (64mb) compact flash card I need to set up as a bootable freebsd partition, and can't get it going for the life of me.. No, it isn't the compact flash, I have done tons of these before, and struggled with each one, but for some reason, I can't remember the steps I took to do it. Does anyone have a cookbook or anything that could help? I've been reading disklabel and fdisk man pages all day, and googling for hints too.. HELP!
