[haiku-development] Re: AMD Geode nano-size motherboard

Thanks Stippi, that did it.  Here's a screenshot of Haiku running on
an AMD Geode based nano-sized board, with NO HDD!  It now boots off of
the compact flash card.  My next step is to move Haiku over to a IDE
flash drive and remove the compact flash card.

I got the CF card and the IDE flash card from transcend in case anyone
is interested:
