Compact flash, usually spelled CompactFlash, ans SmartMedia are two
different beasts.  This sounds like a SmartMedia card (which is
smallish (1/4 the size of a typical matchbook) with 4-5 contacts on the
front).  There are SmartMedia to pccard adapters that work with
FreeBSD, but I've not seen any work to make the floppy one work.  To
be honest, I haven't seen a spec for it floating around.  It might be
easier to get an adapter and a pccard reader.
