Size mini SD card

[croys]

Will fit-pc 2 support a size larger than an 8GB mini SD card to boot from?

SDHC is supported in latest BIOS (just upgrade your BIOS if you have old one).
SDHC size limit is 32GB if I am not mistaken.
But remember that not every OS can boot from SD, regardless of the size.

Can Ubuntu (9.1) boot from SD?

Thanks for the feedback. I believe Windows 7 will boot from an SD card, as long as it's made bootable.

Ubuntu can boot from SD if you use a boot loader with SD driver in stage 1 so that it can load stage 2. If you install Ubuntu on SD but do not add the SD driver as part of stage 1 loader, it will not continue loading and will stuck after stage 1 when it tries to find the SD card and cannot find it (because the SD driver is not present).

No idea whether Windows 7 can boot from SD, but XP definitely cannot.
