[j-nsp] PCMCIA Card

[Guy Davies]

Ad3 is the disk
Rad3 is the "raw" disk
Ad3c is a partition on the disk ad3
Rad3c is a "raw" partition on the disk ad3

When you do block copies (using dd), you have to use the raw disk.
You label the whole disk
You create a new filesystem on the raw partition.
Then you mount the partition (not raw) on the mountpoint.

Rgds,

Guy
