OK.  I'm dense.  What is the /dev node for the flash card?  I've been 
looking around, and some howto's mention /dev/hde, others mention 
/dev/sda.  In any case, here's what I get:

# mount /dev/hde /mnt/flash -t vfat
mount: /dev/hde: unknown device

# mount /dev/hde1 /mnt/flash -t vfat
mount: /dev/hde1: unknown device

Same thing when I try /dev/sda.  And while I'm at it, this whole /dev 
thing is a total mystery to me.  Where would I look if I really wanted 
to understand the logic?  Even better, how would I find out what devices 
there are?
