To create the CF disk, I booted a PC with Knoppix 6.7.0 and chose "Preferences... Install KNOPPIX to flash disk".

The PC Engines box into which I have inserted the CF disk does not have a VGA port, ergo my pursuing the serial console.

- How do I tell if serial support has been compiled into the kernel?
- Myself, I don't see a way to edit /etc/inittab until the box has booted (and I have a serial console from which to run "vi /etc/inittab" -- do you see a path toward doing this?
