Took same CF card on same IDE to CF adapter, put it in my current m0n0 box, and bam, booted up, I assigned interfaces, restored config, all works as it should. Put the same stuff in the Intrusion box, nothing. I can only conclude that the box will NOT run off the CF card. Why, I have no idea whether it is just broken, or if the bios simply needs adjustment. No video means I can't diagnose further. *SIGH*. Back to the person I bought it from it goes. Recommendation, do NOT buy this piece of equipment in it's PDS2300 form and expect an easy box for mono.
