On rh8 I did a no hassle mount command and the card was immediatly usable? I was using sandisk adapter but doubt that makes a difference.
Now I mutilated the card with openBSD partitions and am having fun convincing the laptop to boot from it.
Next mission: make a nice oak box for nasty embedded training on my chop-suey laptop mother board.

Not with 256Mb cards. But I had a 128Mb CF card that would only allow reading from if I specifically gave it the following mount options! :
mount -t vfat -o noauto,nosuid,rw /dev/sdd1 /mnt/flash
Without these options, I could not read from the card.
