I have DSL running on my host pc using DSL iso image. The CF card is attached in a USB slot/adapter on this host system. This host system does not support CF booting.

I want to make DSL bootable on the CF card and transfer it to a mini-itx system, which has an adapter connected to the IDE port, a so called CF ide-adapter card. This  BIOS support booting from CF card and does not have HD.

Regards
James

You might try referring to this discussion.  There are others if you do a search in the forum.

Basicly the CF card using the adaptor is treated like a hard drive from the view of the BIOS.

The CF card is attached in a USB slot/adapter on the host system to create a bootable CF.

The bootable CF is transfered to a minitx sytem with BIOS to boot from CF.

If the CF card is plugged into the USB slot, then it probably is emulating a SCSI device and mounting at sdax (where x is the number of the device, e.g. sda1 ) in which case you should set the BIOS to boot from a USB hard drive, not a CF device.

The CF card is plugged into the USB slot of the first pc just to create a bootable CF(how to create this bootable CF).

The CF card is to be transfered to the 2nd pc without usb only using CF to boot.
