[Voyage-linux] Problem booting DD image

[Jim Salk]

I have my CF card set up with Voyage just the way I want.  Now I would 
like to clone it for use in additional systems.

I tried using DD to clone the CF card to a thumb drive and then back to 
a second CF card.  It did not work because the thumb drive was larger.

I then used DD to create an ISO of the CF card and using it to create a 
new CF card.  That seemed to work (no DD errors), but the card would not 
boot.

So I purchased another card reader and used DD to make a copy of the 
original CF card directly to a new one.  No errors, but the new card 
would not boot either.

I understand that if you DD a bootable drive, the new drive should be 
bootable as well.  I assume this is correct.  The new card should be a 
bit-accurate copy of the original.  Yet the new card will not boot.

Is there anything I am missing here?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
