problem with 2.18.45, vfat and large PCMCIA device

Greetings!

I just received a 5GB pcmcia drive (Toshiba MK5002MPL) which I am hoping
to use with my iPAQ 3835.

The drive works fine under WinCE and I've mounted it under FreeBSD
(msdos filesystem) and copied files to and from it.

When I attempt to make a backup copy of my WinCE image, I get the
following bootloader panic:

--SNIP--

Do you know of any workaround for this?

Also note the byte-swappedness of the serial_number, firmware_revision,
and model_number. These don't cause me any grief, however.

======================= NOTE BAD URL =======================
Note also that: http://www.handhelds.org/feeds/bootldr/install.html
has an e-mail link at the bottom to "bootldr@compaq.com" which bounces.
I'd assume that it should be bootldr@handhelds.org
======================= NOTE BAD URL =======================

Thanks,
