I have put together a PC/104 system that I intend to run gentoo on |
| 2 |
and I am starting to work on putting together the OS. I'm just not |
| 3 |
entirely certain on the best way to boot it. |

The CPU module has a 2M flash chip that currently boots DOS. I also |
| 6 |
have a PCMCIA PC/104 module that has a bios for booting off cards |
| 7 |
and a 24M flash card from an old Cisco Catalyst switch. |

Does anyone know if the Cisco Flash card can be used to boot a linux |
| 10 |
OS or should I abandon that and look for something like a PCMCIA |
| 11 |
hard drive? I am attempting to keep everything solid state. |

I have a gentoo laptop which I am using to try and format the Cisco |
| 14 |
flash card using the pcmciamtd driver. It seems to recognize the card |
| 15 |
but mke2fs just hangs on it. |

Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks. |
