Ok... I scroll all the threads, and I still don't find whats my issue...

Got a GCT unkacked
Got a 512Mb Sandisk CFCard
Made a Fat16 partition on it and put system files on it
Copy the win98 install dir on the cfcard
GCT boot in dos mode
Start the win98 installation with /ie to avoid floppy creation
Win98 installation complete
when I reboot the unit, always get stuck at the Gateway logo...

I tried to make partition with part244,
Boot flag is set
I tried the same with w2k i386 folder, dos part of the installation pass but when it reboot same problem, stuck at the gateway logo....

Tried to find a step by step procedure, but couldn't ... maybe it's getting to old ?
Any help would be very appreciated

Thanks

Forgot to say...

I also tried to install win98 on another machine and then copy the "windows" directory on the cfcard.
Still got stuck at the gateway logo, but if after that I reput system files on the cfcard, I was able to got in dos mode, then when I try to start windows "win" it get stuck at VFAT blabla bluescreen...

If you have a place to upload an image to, just email me from the online form at bayerwerke.com (other email may not get past the spam filters). I have only had success booting a SANDisk CF Card, others may work, but not in my experience.
