When a Compact Flash card is in the reader, it can be accessed using /dev/sda1. The internal flash ROM of the device using FC3. A previous kernel (not sure which - FC1 I believe) was able to access the internal flash as /dev/sda and the CF as /dev/sda1, using them concurrently. Trying to use the device without a CF card in, dmesg says: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address 5 scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices  Vendor: USB CARD  Model: READER       Rev: 0.20  Type:  Direct-Access            ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 5 Device not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the drive.
