What kind of device is the compact flash plugged in to, USB, ATA or PCMCIA?
If it's USB, the only wild guess I'd have is maybe the device ID may have
changed during the format.
It looks the installation scripts got the media formatted, can you mount it
with Knoppix and determine if it's a valid ffs filesystem?
If you really needed to brute force an install onto it, you probably could
from a hard drive install using the default/generic kernel and writing the
boot block out to the compact flash. Not the ideal. If you can wat about a month or so, 3.10 should be out and you could give it a try with that.
