[ltp] Can't mount CF card in PC Slot - need device name?

I have a ThinkPad 770E with SuSE linux 8.1 loaded.  When I insert a Sandisk 
128Meg CF card in the PCMCIA slot, I can do a cardctl status, and ident and 
see it correctly identified as an ATA/IDE device; I can also see in the logs 
that there is a 3.3v memory device in slot 0 in the logs.  But I see no 
reference to a device number that I can mount.  I have looked in both 
/var/log/messages, and /var/lib/pcmcia/stab for a clue as to what it might 
be named, and don't see any.  I do see my CDROM, and hda1 thru 6 (my primary 
harddrive partitions), and when I insert it, my ethernet card eth0.  So how 
can I figure out what my compact flash device number is?  Is there someplace 
else I need to look? Do I need to configure something to get the system to 
recognize the CF card?

Help appreciated.
