Hello Richard
i've tried to put the kernel on the compact flash but there are problems here:

it seems to erase the partition table, do i have to skip some bytes at the 
beginning of the disk ?

i've tried also with: 

dd if=elfimage of=/dev/hde1 bs=4096 seek=1

but linuxbios does not find hd0,0 /kernel when it starts.

i have a question: if i use dd do raw copy from a file to the disk, how can 
linuxbios use /kernel ? i don't think there is any reference to a file :|



Tnx
Serafino
