After you execute /etc/pcmcia/start, look at the
bottom of the screen.  A couple of lines from the
bottom, you should find this:
-------------------------------------
cardmgr: executing: './ide start ???'
-------------------------------------
??? is the assigned device name.

Mount the device by doing:
---------------------
mount /dev/???1  /mnt
---------------------
That assumes the first partition of the 
device has a filesystem on it

On my system, ??? is hdc.  So I do:
---------------------
mount /dev/hdc1  /mnt
---------------------

If your device has no partitions (eg CDrom)
you probably mount it without using a 
partition number.  Also, if the device is
a CDrom, you probably need to execute the
three CDrom modules before trying to mount
it.

Cheers,
