Below is my kernel config.  You also have to use boot0sio and create a
file called /boot.config containing "-h" so the boot loader knows that
you want to use a serial console.  Usually NanoBSD does that for you
if you include "customize_cmd cust_comconsole" in your NanoBSD config
file and leave NANO_BOOTLOADER set to its default of "boot/boot0sio".

I have tried with and without the "device atadisk" line but my compact
flash is never seen by the kernel.

Kind regards,
