Thanks everyone for the replies. If I understand them correctly, the
situation is as follows:
Very good, however:
Sure enough, I found a directory called /dev/hde1. By creating
directory /media/pccfcard and running "mount -t vfat /dev/hde1
/media/pccfcard" I had complete access to the cf card. I then added an
appropriate line to /etc/fstab, which I will test after the next time I
boot my laptop.
No need to wait. Very few things in Unix/Linux require a reboot to
take effect. From a prompt:
mount /media/pccfcard
should work right away, or tell you why it didn't.
I also noticed that pccardctl includes the commands insert and eject.
Since the cards can be hot inserted and removed, I wonder why have these
two commands.
So the hotplug/udev systems could do it for you. cardctl showed up a
long time before hotplug and udev did.
