As it is, it's not paying attention to /etc/auto.misc because the line
"/misc /etc/auto.misc" in /etc/auto.master is commented out. (I think all
mount trees have an implied "/mnt/auto" prepended.) If I were doing it, I
would put an entry for the CF card in auto.misc, and uncomment that line in
auto.master.
