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
