I have put together a PC/104 system that I intend to run gentoo on
and I am starting to work on putting together the OS. I'm just not
entirely certain on the best way to boot it.
The CPU module has a 2M flash chip that currently boots DOS. I also
have a PCMCIA PC/104 module that has a bios for booting off cards
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
OS or should I abandon that and look for something like a PCMCIA
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
flash card using the pcmciamtd driver. It seems to recognize the card
but mke2fs just hangs on it.
Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks.
Regards
