My tip: avoid Disk On Chip if you can. I never managed to get writing to
it to work reliably under Linux- I actually managed to completely destroy
one device before I gave up. SysLinux wouldn't work on it either- I ended
up using Loadlin with FreeDOS. If possible, I would use a Compact Flash
device in IDE mode instead.
