[openbeos] compact flash

Any of you been able to boot BeOS R5 or Haiku off a compact flash disk?

I've got a CF card attached as IDE primary/slave, and while I can 
partition and use it as any other disk, the boot process stops very 
early on. I've run makebootable on it successfully, and copied the bare 
necessities of the 'beos' folder, but having 
rebooted and chosen the CF partition in the boot manager, the kernel 
icon never lights up. Text-mode debugging shows nothing. (nada, zilch.. 
doesn't seem to even start) I haven't tried the CF disk as primary 
master yet though.

FWIW, the parts I'm experimenting with (on R5 and BSD):

and a Sandisk ImageMate USB-CF reader/writer.
(doesn't work for me in BeOS)
