Thanks, Jason.  I picked up a blank CF to play with (separate from the one that 
came in the dev kit, so that if I thoroughly screw it up, it'll be OK,) put it 
into my ubuntu 9.04 machine, and am tearing my hair out trying to format it in 
ext2.

I plug in the CF into the USB connected reader. It mounts automagically.

$ cat /etc/fstab
...
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
...

I try to make an ext2 filesystem on it

$ sudo mkfs -t ext2 -v /dev/fd0
mke2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
fs_types for mke2fs.conf resolution: 'ext2', 'floppy'
/dev/fd0: Read-only file system while setting up superblock

Am I going about this the right way?

Thanks for indulging this semi off topic, but integral to your solution, 
question.
Craig
