I'm trying to install BSD on this device for a while (the time is missing :-D).
I suppose you need a PCMCIA memory card, the DSB kernel is copied into that.
I use a CF to PCMCIA adapter, and it works good.
I use a 256MB CF, but i think that a 64MB could be enough.

I don't think so; i've tried so many installation, but Windows boot
again and again

There's a user in this mailing list, Risto, that give me a new kernel
(kernel available on public repository does not work for me), but i
have not tried it still.
I think i forward his e-mail to you with attached his kernel and instructions.
