I may try compiling uclibc-dynamic netpbm to put onto the camera in a DOS 
partition (not as image file) for use with your 1-floppy USB BL.
And I can add a larger uclibc-dynamic busybox.

I used a new Compact Flash card but we also have two other formats now. 
What format card do you have?

I already tried both *hci drivers, three computers, a card reader and a 
camera to read the card.

How did you copy the file?  I think I mounted the card and used cp to copy 
the image file to it in a /linux directory.
