Hi

I have written the embedded-1.3.img file to a 1 GB CF card but when I try boot my Alix 2d2 from the card it cant find /boot/kernel/kernel.

I write the CF card as per the documentation:

sudo gunzip -c /home/daleh/embedded-1.3.img | sudo dd of=/dev/sdc bs=16k

gzip: /home/daleh/embedded-1.3.img: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
640+0 records in
640+0 records out
10485760 bytes (10 MB) copied, 2.09123 s, 5.0 MB/s

Doing an fdisk I get:

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc
This disk has both DOS and BSD magic.
Give the 'b' command to go to BSD mode.

Disk /dev/sdc: 1008 MB, 1008451584 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 122 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x90909090

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc4   *           1           4       25000   a5  FreeBSD
Partition 4 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(3, 28, 41)

When I boot up the Alix board i get:

PC Engines ALIX.2 v0.99h
640 KB Base Memory
261120 KB Extended Memory

01F0 Master 044A SQF-P10S1-1G                           
Phys C/H/S 1954/16/63 Log C/H/S 977/32/63
Invalid format

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:
No /boot/kernel/kernel

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:

Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I suspect that I'm not doing dd incorrectly but can't work it out. Why does sdc4 have different physical/logical layouts?

Thanks
Dale
