dd-wrt-webupgrade images are for upgrading using the webinterface too. for new install, please use the .image files
and physdiskwrite for writing

dd-wrt boots per default from /dev/hda - /dev/hdd interfaces which means you can install it on any ide compatible device like cf cards or 
standard harddisks

per default dd-wrt prints only messages out on the serial console. if you have a vga capable device you may modify the booloader 
settings to use tty0 instead of ttyS0
you can also edit the bootloader settings in a perstant way on /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst after booting
per default eth0 is wan and remote management on port 8080 is enabled. all other ethernet interfaces are used as lan interfaces
but can be reconfigured from the basic setup page later
if your ethernet interface is not detected, please login using the serial console and write me the "lspci"
output (nickname: brainslayer within the forum)
