I have a USBAT-2 CompactFlash card reader, which is recognised by SuSE linux ( It shows up in the hardware info)

The trouble is I don't know how to mount it so I can see the drive

(I've tried amending fstab to direct /sda (also /sda2 to a cardreader directory, but when I mount /dev/sda or /dev/sda2, I get told they are not valid blocks
(sda1 is a valid block for a Nikon camera, but I forget all of the process I ysed to get it to work.
can anyone help, please:confused:

I believe they use sda4.

Try

/dev/sda4 /mnt/<mountpoint> vfat etc..
