- physdiskwrite.exe - utility for writing images in Windows.

Writing the Compact Flash
Warning: writing images can be vary hazardous to your hard drives. It is possible to overwrite the first few megs of a drive on your system, so be very careful. Look for a target device that matches the size of the Compact Flash you're using.
For using the 'dd' command in linux, you'll need to know which device your Compact Flash card is at. For example, the CF/IDE driver on my laptop sees the Compact Flash as /dev/hdc when it is in a PCMCIA to CF adapter. To 'dd' the image onto the CF, use:
gunzip me2000v3-xxxx-110606.bin.gz dd if=me2000v3-xxxx-110606.bin of=/dev/hdc
Note: I repeat, be very careful with the dd command, you can trash your hard drive very easily.
I'll add the physdiskwrite.exe instructions soon.
Booting a PCEngines Wrap2C
This is the easiest of all three boards, as TinyBIOS boots the CF by default. A serial cable set to 38400N81 will show you the boot messages, or SSH to 10.4.11.5 when the board is booted.
Booting a Mikrotik Routerboard RB532
This board needs to have some boot options changed via serial port. See the Mikrotik site for cable specs and default baud rates. Once you see the boot sequence on your terminal program, you should be able to break the boot to get to the RouterBoot options. Change the board to boot from Compact Flash instead of the internal flash. Reboot the machine and it should then boot into ME2000v3.
Booting a GateWorks Avila 2348-4
As with the routerboard, you'll need a serial cable to get at the bootloader options on the board. 115,000N81. Break the boot sequence (you have to disabled flow-control on the serial port to be able to do this), and issue the follwing commands at the RedBoot prompt:
load -r -m disk -b 0x01600000 hda1:zImage load -r -m disk -b 0x00800000 hda1:ramdisk.gz exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 initrd=0x00800000,8M" 0x01600000
You can also use the RedBoot fconfig command to create a script of the above commands, so the board will always pull the OS from the Compact Flash. For boards without a 9-pin serial port, you can use the 10-pin header (J6) with a suitable cable, which is ttyS1 instead of ttyS0.
