Hopefully you have Linux installed on your pc. You need to partition the cf to have at least a 5mb FAT partition, and the rest to be ext2. Then untar the jlime distro to your ext2 partition, and a kernel, initrd, and launcher into the FAT. And make sure that the launcher's configuration file is correct. The CF card should be mounted as card 1 on the system, not 2. Only then will the launcher work.
