[olug] Compact Flash booting

[Eric Penne]

I have a USB PNY CF reader.  It works great in linux.  

modules used (from memory since I'm not at home):
uhci
usb-storage

it then just mounts and unmounts like a normal floppy disk.

I bet your SIIG one will work also.

plug it in, modprobe usb-storage, check dmesg, and mount it on a scsi
device
