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,
Steven
