I want to use a real "microdrive" in the CF slot.

Since WinCE does not seem to recognise it I was thinking I could use a 
real CF (flash) card in the PCMCIA slot (with adapter) to boot NetBSD 
from but then have it mount it's root FS from the microdrive.

That way I figured I could remove the CF card once it has booted and use 
the PCMCIA slot for network.
