I dont know how the storage manufacturers define 8 Mb - i was just 
guessing :-)

This is what the bios on my VIA EPIA motherboard tells me about the CF Card:

Capacity : 8 MB
Cylinder : 245
Head : 2
Precomp : 0
Landingzone : 244
Sectors : 32

The CF card have been used for a Digital camera before i got it.
I used Physdiskwirte v0.5 to get m0n0wall 1.11 on it, (at a friends 
computer).
If i look at the console when i try to upgrade to 1.2b6, i see an error 
message that dissapear faster than i can read it, because system reboots.
Errors when flashing like that is NOT fun, so ofcourse i got scared, but 
by luck or something, m0n0 actually booted to at state wich gave me 
functionality enough to downgrade to 1.11 again (pheev) ;-) I dont have 
a CF card reader so i cant fix a bad flash from my Win box...

If there is anything you would like to get "cut'n pasted" from m0n0wall 
1.11 let me know :-)
