You get the device that is created by looking at the "dmesg" output
after you plugin the flash. I'm assuming you have all options set in
your kernel the right way.

After that, you mount it normally. Mine can only be mounted using the
first (and only) partition, so if, for example, /dev/sda doesn't work,
try /dev/sda1.

Don't forget to enter in your /etc/fstab:
===============================
/dev/sda                /mnt/flash        auto,vfat,msdos
noauto,user,noatime     0 0
===============================
or replace /dev/sda with /dev/sda1, if your CF has been partitioned
(some manufacturers format their CFs as a large MSDOS floppy).
