    Hi all,

    I'm looking to boot a dd image of a 512m CF card on a linux box (the
    DD is of a linux install as well). I was hoping to be able to place a
    dd file on the hard drive and boot the image with a loader (lilo
    currently). This would be ideal because it would be simple then to dd
    the image back to a CF card for actual devel system.

    I could copy the partition from the DD image to a new partition on
    the hard drive although this would not make it simple to copy back to
    the CF card.

       Any suggestions on how to do this?

    Ryan
