Trying to mount /dev/sda2 - /dev/sda4 or /dev/sdb1 - /dev/sdd1 results in the message "mount: special device /dev/sda# does not exist, which makes sense because they don't exist in /dev.
Running 'fdisk /dev/sda' with a 64M CF card, and a 128M SmartMedia card just shows the CF card. Here's the partition table as shown:
- - - - -
Disk /dev/sda: 8 heads, 32 sectors, 490 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 256 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 489 62576 6 FAT16
- - - - -
It certainly *looks* like it will be /dev/sd[abcd]1 to get to the other card slots.
If anybody thinks it might help, I can boot into Win2K and check what information it reports about the hardware.

when you say /dev/sda is created and that cf slot works, do you mean that you can mount the cf card as /dev/sda1? or is it that the cf card is /dev/sda and then you mount a 'partition' on the card (implying that you could have more than one partition on the cf card) have you tried mounting /dev/sda2 etc? if you have an actual scsi disk partitioned as /dev/sda1 sda2 etc it would show up under windows as seperate drives as well, it may be that you need another card plugged in to find these, if you have two cards in the reader and run:
#fdisk /dev/sda
what do you get?

According to the booklet that came w/ the reader, it shows up as 4
seperate drives under windows. (one for each physical card type; CF,
SD, SmartMedia, and MemoryStick) When I plug it in, /dev/sda is created
in devfs by hotplug, and the CF card slot works as expected. I suspect
from its behavior under windows, that I need to convice hotplug to
create the other device entries in devfs so I can access the other
slots, but I don't know how to do so.
