The card in question is an adaptor to mount a compact flash memory card to my desknote via the PCMCIA slot (as per most laptops).
I did get the thing manually mounted for a while but cocked things up when I decided to swap the compact flash card for another one (well I was on a roll and amazed I'd managed to get something going...for a while I could read the info off the new card) But ...I think the computer recognised the different card and tried launching the auto mounting routine from YaST giving the drive /hdg as opposed to the original card's /hde. I was not able to determine the partitions on the card...but opted for /hde1 as per recommendations and it did work. I'm in the process of trying to get things back up and running again...thanks for all assistance....please hold off for the moment with further info...I'm drowning in responses ;-) Ralph..
