Why would we want wince survival? I bought a spare ROM board for
experiments.

Even dumb one utilizing only first CF slot? The most space-eating thing
would be a PCMCIA init and IDE-cs interface... Do you think that such
bootloader cannot fit in 32kB?

How is suspend/resume achieved with HP's flash boards and linux?
Does jornada always start at 0x0 after resume? Maybe we could put a flag
somewhere like "system is in memory, jump -> here to resume it" for a
bootloader?

I am aware of that and already scared ;).
What do you think about already mentioned here idea in my other mail
(memory mapped CF on a flashboard)?
