[SPARCbook] SPARCbook and CompactFlash Card

[Ken Hansen]

Your calluna hard drive is not in th etop drive, it is on the lower drive
slot. I assume this is a type III PCMCIA card (twice a s thick as a typical
PCMCIA card) - correct?

The mount line may need to change to reflect the actual socket the drive is
inserted into...

HTH,

Ken
