To do some package source compilation, I installed NetBSD3.0/hpcmips on one of my three Sharp 7000 (equivalent to Telios AJ1 jp) using a Kingston 50X 2.0 GigaByte compact flash card. Everything works fine (very much like my 1G compact cards exercise). There is, however, a very frustrating hiccup -- Rebooting after the smooth installation, it reports that it could not open the /netbsd image! Moreover, breaking into the utility shell indicates that all files, in particular, /netbsd is already in. Just wonder if it has to do with the embedded software and/or hardware of the 2G CF card. Any advice to fix the problem will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

PS:
hpcboot.exe parameters used
installation: ==>
kernel: \storage card\ netbsd(1).gz verbose
options: autoboot after 7 sec
log: NIL
post-installation: ==> / netbsd
kernel: / netbsd(1).gz verbose
options: autoboot after 7 sec
log: NIL
The same setting works flawlessly on the Kingston and SanDisk from 256M --1G CF cards
