Gents,

I'm trying to get CF working on the Avila board.  I followed the
instructions in the README_AvilaCompactFlash file.  The version of the
board I have supports redboot 2.01. Consequently I'm trying to set it
up with RedBoot CF/IDE Support.

After I create the CF (ext2 file system) and plug it into the Avila
card, I try to manually load the zImage from the CF.  

I type in load -r -m disk -b 0x01600000 hda1:zImage

The response I get is "Cant load 'hda1:zImage': unsupported filesystem.

When I type in "disks" I don't get anything.  I am expecting to see
hda1.

Since I'm new to this, I imagine I'm probably skipping some critical
step.

Thanks in advance,
....Sanjay Gidwani
