Installation

We have a 4Gb kingston CF card to hold the image.  I have tried imaging using windows and linux both work successfully, unfortunately when we go to boot the device we get this at the end of the boot. 

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0
kern.coredump: 1 -> 0

I have tried changing all of the bios settings.  I have different images and upgraded the bios as well and nothing works.  I have tried multiple duplicate cards and get the same thing.  I used an old 128mb Cisco card and imaged it and booted it and it worked!  My question is.. has anyone run into this kind of an issue and if so do you have a solution on how to use the the kingston CF card.  The only thing that I have noticed is with the cisco card that worked, once I imaged it it had the one partition to boot from.  If I look at the other 4Gb card that doesn't work it has 2 partitions one of DOS and one of freeBSD of sdc4 and sdc4p4.  This is the major differences I have noticed.  Any feedback will be appreciated.

How did you write to the cf card?

You should write to the disk and not to a particular partition.

Have you read these docs?

If the card has U3 installed you need to uninstall it.

Yes I have written the image to the CF card in Linux and in Windows and it doesn't work.  What is funny is if I image the card with say .. the 48xx image and then install it on one of those soekris boxes there is not an issue and it boots fine.  Now you mentioned something about a U3 install; now I don't know if that is the case here but it is doing something weird with the partitions when I image it like I had mentioned, but I don't think it is U3 because I have wiped that thing countless times.
