The CFDisk was partitioned with one partition.
It is formatted ext2, dunno what type it was set to, probably 83 "Linux".
I'm not sure the bootable setting is relevant - though you could try it 
with and without.

My redboot stuff is...

  load -r -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:/vmlinux.bin
  exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/hda1"
