      Edit: All right, switched to the pre-release 1.2.1 RC2 and it boots fine from the CD. Still having some problems, but I'll try and see if I can work those out for myself before I ask for more help.

      So, I'm trying to install this on a system with a CF card and went through the embedded install process but since it doesn't output to a monitor it's hard to tell whether it's actually working or not (I don't have a null modem). It doesn't seem to be (can't connect via crossover ethernet cable).

      So I thought I'd try booting with the Live CD, and this is what I get:

      Boot from CD:
      CD Loader 1.2

      Building the boot loader arguments
      Looking up /BOOT/LOADER… Found
      Relocating the loader and the BTX
      Starting the BTX loader

      BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
      consoles: internal video/keyboard

      int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00030206 eip=00004019
      eax= ...
      esi= ...
      cs=f000 ds=3fca ...
      cs:eip=2e 0f 01 ...
      ss:esp=01 80 00 ...

      BTX halted

      I've snipped some of the values there. There were a lot and seemed to be of limited utility.

      Anyway, my motherboard is an MSI Fuzzy 945GM2 with a Core Solo. Let me know if you've got any ideas.
