Mounting a CF card

[Joe Villari]

Did you recompile your kernel for PCMCIA? I believe you have to select 
the specific modules when you compile the kernel.

It's been a while and I just moved. I'll look for my notes but I don't 
remember it being any harder than recompiling the kernal. Finding what 
the device was mounted to was another story :)
