It's a bit of manual work. You will need a CF (Compact Flash) to
install to. The easiest way is to put the CF in a laptop and install
it there, then move the CF to the Jornada. The laptop should
preferably run NetBSD, it will assure you have the correct tools to
partion and label the CF prior to installation.
