I don't have my laptop here, so I'm doing this from memory.
File systems are mounted very early in the boot sequence, while PCMCIA
is initialized much later. Switching both scripts is possible, but I
noticed it gives some problems.
The easiest way to do this, is to put a little script in /etc/init.d
with the following contents (adapt to your mount point):
#! /bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
mount /jaz
;;
stop)
umount /jaz
esac
Add this script in the boot sequence with:
update-rc.d mountjaz.sh defaults xx yy
How to determine the values for xx and yy: execute
ls /etc/rc?.d/*pcmcia
You'll see files S??pcmcia and K??pcmcia (where ?? Is a number). xx
should be a number bigger than te value after `S', yy must be smaller
than the `K' value.
