[ltp] PCMCIA Compact Flash Cards ??

[Robert Hajime Lanning]

Also, the PCMCIA IDE is a seperate IDE controler (on the PCMCIA card).
So, IDE0 is hda and hdb, IDE1 (usualy swap bays) is hdc and hdd, and the
PCMCIA card will be IDE2 as hde and hdf.

Bert is right, you need to watch your logs for where the device shows up.
