I've got a 1GB overlay on it but trying to update F9 from the iso to current pretty much max's it out. I have created a 4GB overlay file on the HD but it is a NTFS partition. I updated the syslinux.cfg to get it to find the overlay file on the HD and it attempted it (I changed out the overlay= command to use the HD label and UUID) but it complained that it didn't understand the filesystem type. Since I can access the HD once I boot I assume I need NTFS support in the initrd.
