I spoke too soon. This CF card (256MB Sandisk Ultra-II) I actually 
installed BeOS properly onto, using Installer. I don't know why it 
doesn't work, if it's the card or not.

My other card, a 128MB Twinmos Ultra-X, I re-formatted as BFS (4096 
blocks), ran 'makebootable' and copied the bare necessities of /boot/
beos (to /cf/beos),
and with this card, I get as far as a greyscale VESA + the hand 
pointer, but no Tracker, and it hangs after a short while.

Oh, and this is on my regular PC, (not the Soekris), a recent Celeron, 
Intel 845. Nothing special. BeOS runs on it just fine, so it -should- 
work running off CF.. No?
