- looks good... a couple points (after testing):
1. Linux does not detect hot insertion/removal events on the external CF; this means you must boot with an external CF inserted
2. it does detect CF memory cards... other cards i will try as i get time are:
- Xircom CF Ethernet (CF nic)
- Targus serial I/O CF (to add a serial port)
- Targus WWW serial CF (for connection to a Motorola StarTAC for modem use)
3. /dev/hdc1 *is* available under the 'newer' hacked jailbait! i booted with a CF formatted FAT16... using:
# ls -l /dev/hdc1
reports:
/dev/hdc1 -> ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part1
- this is as things should be... i then mounted the /dev/hdc1 partition (it was a 32MB Sandisk with a single vfat [FAT16] partition like this:
# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hd
4. if you do not have /dev/hdc1, you can create one like this:
- mount / as read-write:
# mount -o remount,rw /
- use the mknod command to create the device:
# mknod /dev/hdc1 b 22 1
- create a mount point:
# mkdir /mnt/cf
- then mount it:
# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cf
- i'd suggest trying the latest hacked linux image flashed internally... it works pretty well (but is not the only solution)...
hope this helps...
