do you have access to a freebsd system ? if you do, i could provide you
some scripts which partitions, disklabels and creates a new filesystem on
the CF card, upon which you can then copy the m0n0wall files (note, not
images!) on to. this would take into account the actual size of the card
and not be dependent on the partition table existent in the m0n0wall
images.

me thinks, and i cant be sure of this, sometimes as CF cards grow old, the
exhibit weird characteristics which may break their operation.
