Thanks, I'll try it.

We don't need them at the same time:
* Usually, the system boots from flash,
and the CF is used for data transfer
(and hence should be changeable).
* In case of emergency (when the system in flash got messed up),
or for the first-time flash,
it would be nice to be able to boot from CF.
In that case, the CF will not be removed in flight!
