Sorry to drag this topic back up but this has actually got me thinking.
Obviously you can't boot thru PCMCIA via a CF card unless as mfilos said, you make some sort of weird custom boot disk. However, is it possible to do this via a custom made Kickstart ROM? It would certainly be a cheaper alternative to an Overdrive. :)

If you got the advanced assembler programming skills you can do it. It wont be easy, as no one has done it yet :)

It would be really cool though.

You will have to create several rom modules, eg: create the cfd.device, and mount the proper mountlist and include the corresponding filesystem support there.

I hope someone some day accomplishes this...

I certainly wouldn't be able to do it but it was a thought more then anything else. Thanks for the response though, good to know it is technically doable. :)
