-Use a fast (133x or better) card with 4 GB or more. We're using a SanDisk Ultra 200x 8 GB.
-Mounted the CF on a Linux PC via a USB card reader. Card appears as /dev/sde1

-As the card is larger than 4 GB I partitioned it to match Dave's card:

-Unmount, eject and boot on DBBC!
-=== 4 GB card installation ===
-Tim has been having trouble getting the 8 GB card to boot so I got a 4 GB SanDisk Ultra 200x card.
-Partition table initially showed
-<code>4011 MB, 4011614208 cylinders
-heads, 63 cylinders/track, 971 cylinders
-units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes</code>
-so in the "extra functionality" mode of fdisk I changed
-number of cylinders to 487
-and number of heads to 255
-partition table then could be made to match Dave's.
