it sounds as though you're using Compact Flash, which isn't really
very `raw'. the Compact Flash cards are commonly accessed
using an ATA (IDE) IO interface, either by initialising in the
same way as PCMCIA (CF and PCMCIA are almost the same
except for form factor and a few other details), or by forcing
it into a default ATA interface directly on power up.
there's a bit more to it than that, but by and large, after setup,
it looks like a disk, and it does all that inside the CF card.
so, unlike raw flash memory, the disk/* commands are indeed
what you'd use, unlike for `raw flash'.
