[Voyage-linux] Booting from CF card

[Chris]

Hi,

I have no problem with that, the issue is getting the info from that 
computer into this email.
I have tried:
dmesg > errortext

I don't think it can be saved to the CF card, as the card cannot be mounted?

cat proc/partitions has no info. It just displays:
major minor #blocks name

Thanks for the help.
