hi all,

I just tried this.

# mkdir 512mb
# mount /dev/wd1a /512mb
pcmcia1: card irq 3
wd1: no disk label
mount: cannot open `/dev/wd1a': Device not configured

So I figured maybe the CF msdos partition is not on wd1a. I tried wd1e 
instead:

# mount /dev/wd1e /512mb
pcmcia1: card irq 3
pcmcia1: card irq 3
wd1: no disk label

then the system hangs. I will try again with the -tmsdos flag to explicitly 
force msdos type. Will update new results later. Anyone with any idea, 
please let me know ya? Thx!

-Robin
