Hardware Problem

I installed Debian 3.0 on an older 486 laptop and it seems to work - network 
comes up, I can login, I can ssh from another machine, etc. I then tried to 
install a pcmcia hard drive, but I cannot get the OS to recognize that the 
drive exits when it boots. My network card is pcmcia, so I am pretty sure that 
is working. I used modconf to enable the ide module for pcmcia, but that did 
not solve the problem.

Any suggestions on how to get the drive to work would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mark
