I'm using one of those CF 2to IDE adapters on my AMD 286 machine. I'm using a cheap 128MB card from eBay.
When booting from a floppy, I'm able to partition, format, and transfer DOS (tried MS-DOS 5.0) to the CF card. But when attempting to boot from the card, the computer is stuck with just a blinking cursor.
I also tried to Install MS-DOS 6.22 from the installation diskettes, and all went smooth. But when trying to boot I'm getting into a boot loop.
The BIOS does not auto detect the configuration, so I used random settings that gave me a capacity close to the 128MB, but even trying smaller capacity didn't change much.
I tried fdisk /mbr, and also partitioning only 64mb of the card. Didn't help.
Any ideas?
