Please re-read the archives why this is not as trivial as it may seem.

This won't help you much. In the first step, you would have to modify
the whole CF and DOS FAT code such that it works while  running  from
flash.  This is a non-trivial task, and I don't intend to accept such
modifications for inclusion in the publich tree.
