Andy Powell has prepared a CF image at www.automated.it/asterisk. I
have been able to get this booted on a testbed system. 

Sadly, I'm a Linux newbie and not skilled at command line
administration, thus I'm stuck at the moment. I can get the existing
image running, but have not been able to get ssh working, change
passwords, load my configs to the CF, etc. If there's someone on-list
who could assist in this regard I'd gladly share my experience moving
my production server to be CF based.
