how would i i configure my system and/or kernel to use pcmcia base block devices (such as flash cards or microdrives)

does this information help at all?

well, i got it to work, as it would turn out all i had to do was compile in some modules into the kernel, such as
pcmcia ide...
and poof, the flashcard i have emulates an ide drive so it worked :)

excellent. its always nice when it works right off the bat like that. course you learn more when it doesn't... but too much of that can get really frustrating.

actually, it took a few tries, but you are right about that :)
