The CF card is in the USB card reader.  Your 1-floppy linux and also the 
larger 2.4.31 kernel (booted with BL2 or BL3) recognize and let me mount 
the card and transfer usbcam to it.  We can try two cameras next.  And the 
other uhci driver.  And then the SM card in a different card reader (it 
won't work in this CF_SM one).

We can also try a different uhci computer and an ohci computer.

I am able to ls the directories but not ls -l them (input/output error) or 
cd to them.  Very consistently I can cd to /sbin but not /bin.
