To Dave and Chris;

Thanks for the in put and suggestions. I did RTFM and got my card
working. I was using the correct image, but the switches were set
wrong. Dave, your suggestion of booting directly from the SD has really
intrigued me. So if you have the time and have the inclination... I'm
all ears, TIA
