Re: Mounting PCMCIA Compact Flash Card

i have a microdrive which i use via a cf <-> pcmcia adapter.  i am not
sure how analogous the situation is to yours, but for reference:

when i insert the pcmcia card (along w/ the microdrive), i am told via
the console and/or logs (/var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/messages,
iirc) what device the microdrive becomes available as.

e.g. /dev/hdc

i use cfdisk to partition the microdrive and after writing the
partition table, i eject and reinsert the card.

then i use mkfs (defaults to ext2) to create filesystems on the
paritions i created.  after that the created filesystems can be
mounted in the normal manner.

does this help at all?
