AFAIK, anaconda doesn't support installation on a CF. However, if you
get a minimal package set installed on a CF adapter (that masks it as
ide), use clever mount options (minimise writes), I'm sure you can boot
off CF

A lot of these boards have an ide controller that use a cf as a disk.
However, a minimal package set will not be small...
