Easier yes - better? Maybe not...

In a power fail, you could corrupt your CF image, then you lose the benefits
of solidstate booting.

Also, my understanding is that CF "disks" have a limited number of write
operations before they start having problems. The problem is going to cause
trouble with typical configs where log files are updated constantly - I'd do
the math and see how long it will last?

my 2 cents

I'm using this one, which seems to be almost the same as the one you're
suggesting:
http://cfide.co.uk/compact_flash_ide_adapter_cfide_hdd.shtml

Only difference is that this one detects as a hard drive in BIOS - and
there's always write access.
That way you can just use the generic PC (HDD) image without any
modifications.

Seems a bit easier ;o)
