Is your card formatted as ext2 or as VFAT?

The device file is /dev/mmcblk0 (/dev/mmcblk0p1 for the first 
partition), and it should be mounted automatically on /media/card. If 
that's not working, make sure that the kernel modules on your rootfs are 
the same version as your uImage (i.e. make sure you have 
/lib/modules/2.6.21.6-moko11 rather than some other version). The 
specific module you need is "s3cmci".

The card can be formatted under Linux on the GTA01, e.g.
umount /media/card
mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /media/card.
