Allow me ask a question about bootable CF here.

I have created a bootable CF with all contents copied from rootfs of iLiad. I use as a emergent rescue tool. It has nothing to do with kernel porting.
Right after created, I used "dd" to backup all data on the CF. The problem is that the CF can be used only once. After a successful boot, I have to dump data to the CF using "dd" so that I can use it again. I believe that something on the CF is altered during boot, but I am not sure what are the alterd data.
