where would i find the device file (ie /dev/sda1) for a hard drive device which is connected to a PCMCIA usb 2.0 card???
i have pcmcia support, usb-storage, ohci-hcd & usb-uhci built into my kernel.
i connected my drive and booted into the gentoo install cd and i could not find the device file there either!

any help would be great..

thanks

What do you see when you watch the output of 'tail -f /var/log/everything' when you attach the drive to a running system?

well... i was being dumb... i didnt actually try it on the one with everything compiled into the system. it works... no problems. it was just /dev/sda1 which is what it was when it was connected via usb 1.1
