CF booting from PCMCIA is different to CF booting from an IDE or SCSI adaptor. Where it boots from determines how you have to set it up. Media from the IDE port needs scsi.device, ie a Rigid Disk Block. Media on the PCMCIA port is always CC0: and can be INSTALLed and formated (but it will take a LONG time to format a 2GB device on an A600).

Just in case you are trying to boot it from PCMCIA, if not, ignore this post.
