== Modify syslinux.cfg for Compact Flash Card ==
 
Most cards are mounted as IDE drives (sda1) and not as usbdisks. Therefore, edit /media/sda1/syslinux.cfg and replace ''usbdisk'' with ''sda1''
 
''Also, many CF card readers don't support DMA correctly, so you may need to add ''nodma'' to the ''append'' line.''
