I've had great luck with this on several different Thinkpads.
I can't take credit for it, got it off of the net.

Make yourself a directory /mnt/pcflash and then add the following line to
/etc/fstab:
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/pcflash vfat noauto,user,fat=12 0 0
Replace /dev/hdc1 with whatever device the PCMCIA IDE module places the card
at. You can figure this out by looking at your system messages file
(/var/log/messages on a RedHat system) right after the card is inserted, or
by looking at /var/lib/pcmcia/stab. If you have both a hard drive and an
IDE CD-ROM drive on your system, it may well be that the PCMCIA Compact
Flash card won't show up at /dev/hdc.
At this point, after inserting the card, any user can issue the command
mount /mnt/pcflash
and get to the images on the card just like files on any other filesystem.
Remember to unmount the filesystem before physically removing the PCMCIA card
reader!
