Did you try to boot from CF-card with an IDE<->CF-card-adapter instead of hdd? This will only work with the 'right' CF-card. A bootable PCMCIA-CF-card-adapter is not known.

You've to prepare your card - not all CF-cards are bootable. The BIOS must 'see' the CF-card as hdd. But my english is too bad, so I can't explain how to make a card bootable.
