Re: [Nolug] Flash memory access, lack thereof

John,
I don't know if this is related, but I have a similar situation in
using a removable pcmcia drive. Each time the machine boots, it
removes the mount directory from fstab. I solved the problem by
copying fstab to fstab.sav and creating a script to be run each time
before I use the drive. The script reads:

     /sbin/modprobe i82365
     /sbin/modprobe ds
     /sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core
     /sbin/cardmgr
     cp /etc/fstab.sav /etc/fstab
     mkdir /mnt/pcmcia
     mount /mnt/pcmcia

After that it works OK until the next boot. Maybe you may need to
create some sort of script for your problem.
