If you're dealing with a 7200 and CF then boot directly from the CF it's 
a lot easier then doing a pivot_root.  You can simply untar the debian 
root FS to the CF card root formatted in ext2 and put a kernel bzImage, 
zImage or vmlinux file in the root of the CF as well. Then from reboot 
you can specify hda1:/<kernel image> for image loading and 
root=/dev/hda1 on the boot line.
