    Installing Knoppix on Compact Flash

    I'm installing Knoppix on an 8GB Compact Flash card, but I see 'No boot device available'. Tips on what I'm missing?

    I used the following procedure to transfer Knoppix to the CF card:
    [I produced this procedure by reading https://www.inductiveautomation.com/..._card_143.doc]

    (1) Booted laptop from a Knoppix 6.7.0 CD
    (2) Used Gparted to create a single ext2 partition
    (3) cp -r /mnt-system/boot /media/sdb1
    (4) cd /media/sdb1/boot
    (5) mv isolinux extlinux
    (6) mv isolinux.cfg extlinux.conf
    (7) chmod +w extlinux.conf
    ( vi extlinux.conf
    [ add the following to every APPEND line: nodma fromhd noprompt noeject ]
    (9) cp -r /mnt-system/KNOPPIX /media/sdb1
    (10) Download syslinux-3.86.zip, uncompress in /home/knoppix
    (11) cd /home/knoppix/syslinux-3.86/mbr
    (12) cat mbr.bin > /dev/sdb
    (13) cd ../extlinux
    (14) ./extlinux -i /media/sdb1/boot/extlinux
    /media/sdb1/boot/extlinux is device /dev/sdb1

    root@Microknoppix:/media/sdb1/boot/extlinux# ls
    balder.img extlinux.conf f3 isolinux.bin logo.16 minirt.gz
    boot.cat extlinux.sys german.kbd linux memdisk
    boot.msg f2 grub.exe linux64 memtest

    root@Microknoppix:/media/sdb# ls
    . ..

    I remove the CF card from the laptop, insert into the Alix board, power on, and see this text:
    PC Engines ALIX.2 v0.99m
    640 KB Base Memory
    261120 KB Extended Memory

    01F0 Master 848A CF CARD
    Phys C/H/S 15490/16/63 Log C/H/S 971/255/63 LBA
    Missing operating system.
    No boot device available, press Enter to continue.

    What does this message mean? Have I fumbled the MBR procedure?

    Please use the instructions you'll find at Hard drive installation.
