Slight miscommunication there.  The CF is pcmcia mounted on my 
_developement_ system.  I was just trying to clarify why my disk mount 
was /dev/hde for the 'cat >' rather than hda.  Looks like I just 
confused things further. :(

On my _target_ device the CF is a connector on the PCB.  Its hda and the 
only IDE device I have.

Thanks I'll give that a try.  I also see just where fdisk put the 1st 
partition.
