Well -- you don't give many details of what you tried or what the
error/problem is, in the future please try to do so or I won't be able
to help out.

To answer your query -- you would make it work in the same way as you
would a regular hard disk on your workstation.

First you may need to partition it using fdisk. CF cards often seem to
have a single large partition on them, in which case you need to be
mounting /dev/hda1 rather than just /dev/hda.

You may also need to make a filesystem on it, I think CF cards often
ship with a FAT filesystem of some sort, so that may be sufficient and
you can just mount with fs type vfat. Otherwise you need to use
mkfs.ext2 to make an ext2 filesystem on the device (depending on your
partitioning structure that's hda or hda1).
