Hi Guys,

i've been playing around with voyage linux on a soekris 4826 board with 
64mb CF onboard and have stumbled across a problem.

I followed the pxe booting instructions and got voyage linux to boot and 
run very well from pxe but i've now tried to install it on the Compact 
Flash and i've run into problems.

a) The install script doesn't chroot to /mnt properly and it bails, not 
a big problem i just looked at the script and followed it by hand.

b) The big problem that the installed version has over the PXE version 
is that when it gets to the end of the init scripts it doesn't show a 
login prompt then after a while it complains that T0 or 1(depending on 
which I tried) is respawning too fast.

I hope someone can help I like this distribution as metrix sucks(well i 
can't get it to work :) when it comes to supporting prism54 firmware, 
once i've got it working i'll post any changes back online.

Cheers
Tom(Uniconnect)
