Two beeps of the same tone indicate correct installation
of the PCMCIA card.

That is not correct.

Because it is doing only a single pass (as instructed by
/etc/pcmcia/start). It does not stay resident.

No. That message started when we upgraded the kernel.

It finds your IDE card.

It sees your 513mb drive at /dev/hdc

It executes the optional IDE script.

A successful installation.

What happens when you do:
--------
fdisk -l
