I should have pointed out that my multiple card reader is connected with a USB interface, so that is why it is "sda".
I also have DSL on a CF Microdisk with a pcmcia interface. That is a "hdc". That is a HD install from a DSL Live CD (not embeded).
It sounds like you are trying to install DSL to a CF card on a different computer which can boot DSL from a pendrive, and then move the CF card to the Compaq IA-1.
Since the Compaq IA-1 has an IDE to CF interface, another option is to get an IDE/CF adapter for the other computer that can boot DSL. Then you should be able to access the CF card as a "hdx" and try a frugal install. That should be close to what the Compaq IA-1 will need. I havn't tried that myself, but there are many posts in the forums by others who use IDE/CF adapters. The DSL store has them:

If you want to try copying the image, then you could look at the scripts included with DSL. They are in /usr/sbin/frugal*.sh.
