Well, this machine doesnt have a CD-ROM, or an IDE connector. It does have an IDE Bus, and the pads on the mainboard. I put in a standard IDE cable to attach both a HDD and CD ROM. If you leave the HDD off the IDE chain, the CF card will be used asPrimary Master.

Im pretty sure its my CF card thats giving me the issues. I think the bootloader is trying to install tot he Master Boot Record, which im not all too sure if a CF card will have. I put my vote on "No, it doesnt". I need to install the Bootloader onto the partition.

Or the bootloader needs to be told that its on a CF card, not a HDD. Either way, i have no idea how to do that from command line.

I can get it to install to CF, if i can boot from CD then manually configure the bootloader, that would be fine. I just have no idea how, and all the resources I come up with dont help.
