Cool.  Thanks for the info guys.  I have a couple of 2200-EXX 8363s
that I want to do the CF booting from.  The higher-end 8364s seem to
be alot easier to get to boot from CF.

I did find a couple more interesting links:

Dzuy Nguyen's COST $25 FirewallPresentation:

I sent a n00bie plea to the ALG list asking for some details from the presenter:

A few notes from 2002 on booting PeeWeeLinux on 2200 using CF.  Good
information, but I'd like to see more details on the /etc/inittab
tweaks that he did.

The overall goal here is hooking these up to Linksys WRT54g wireless
routers running Sveasoft's Linux distro in WDS (mesh network) mode...a
very cheap way to wire a a entire neighborhood with basic internet
access.  I'm playing around with doing this setup using LTSP, but I'd
like to eliminate the overheasd and make these boxes standalone CF
booting :)

Thanks again,
