I've recently purchased from eBay Lucky Star LS-486E combo with AMD 486DX4-100 CPU and 32mb of RAM. As I only have one old 80MB IDE HD at my disposal, I've decided to use IDE/CF Adapter with 4GB CF card as my primary HD. Configuration is able to boot with old Maxtor 80MB hard drive into DOS, however every time I try to boot with CF card I'm being stuck on "Updating ESCD" problem...

I'm not sure if problem is CF card, cache memory or something else (BIOS configuration). I was able to install MSDOS 6.22 when booting from floppy drive. CF card was formated successfully into 2 partitions (primary and extended), installation went without a problem. Once I removed bootable ms-dos floppy, I would be again stuck on Updating ESCD" problem... Pictures attached.
