how to mount CF device in linux

[丁厚永]

hi,
    I have a IBM Microdrive CF device which is 1GB.
    I have joined it with a PC Card Adapter provided by IBM and pluged
it into a PCMCIA slot in my notebook. Under WIN XP, i can explorer
the device. How can i find this device under linux(redhat7.3) and
fdisk,format and create fs with it?
thanks
best regards!

Did the kernel find the device during bootup, use dmesg to look at the
boot messages?

As root, use mount, like

mount -t msdos /dev/xxx /mnt

where xxx is the device the kernel found. msdos might not be correct,
replace msdos with the filesystem type you installed on the card.
