installing CRUX

Hi, I'm trying to install CRUX 2.7.1 on a Pentium 3 single board computer with 512 MB of RAM. The data sheet for the SBC is here: https://www.surplussales.com/computeraccess/pdf/eqp-vmivme-7648-740.pdf. I'm booting from a CD ROM and after I get to the "boot: " prompt and hit enter everything goes OK until I get to: * Copying files from squashfs at which point everything goes haywire. Sometimes I get "cp: read error" messages, sometimes it segfaults, but I've never been able to get past this point. I should mention that the only hard drive on the machine is an 8 GB compact flash card, I don't know if that's relevant. Any ideas on whether I might be able to get this to work or not? Thanks, Tony
