Re: iPAQ 3850 Multi-Media Card

As far as I'm aware, the bootloader doesn't contain support for booting from
MMC cards at the moment, so it's probably a no-go... at the moment.... I
don't keep track on the bootloader mailing lists, so someone please proove
me wrong.

It should be possible (although probably pointless) to boot the kernel from
CF, but use the MMC as filesystem storage. It would certainly be possible to
use familiar on flash and chroot to a filesystem on MMC.

Don't know if that helps much...
