[mythtv-users] FYI: IDE Flash modules..

[Robert Denier]

I thought it worth noting/reminding people of these since these can save some 
aggravation with embedded system designs.  The following link shows a 32MB 
ide flash module.

32MB $18.80  (Note:  I've not purchased from this site, although I have used 
the 256MB  version of these modules without any problems.)

For those that want to boot from the network, but have hardware that doesn't 
really work well with network booting, for whatever reason, this seems like 
the way to go.

Basically you put /boot on the flash module including grub and your kernel and 
then have it use nfs for the root file system.  I may buy one for one system 
just so it no longer needs a hard drive.
