Well, you have to emerge hotplug
Code:
emerge hotplug

Run the script (as root)
Code:
/etc/init.d/hotplug start

If you want started at each boot, add it to the default runlevel
Code:
rc-update add hotplug default

Then you should see sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, sde in your /dev. If you have only sda, then your kernel does not check for multiple LUNs (Linux uses SCSI emulation to operate card readers). To make the system see the other 4 card slots, write this as root in the console:

Code:
echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1"
echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 2"
echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 3"
echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 4"

You will have to enter these every time you need access to the slots 2-5.
Now you can mount the card! Example: you inserted a card in the 3rd slot.
Code:

mkdir /mnt/card
mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/card
