[iPAQ] CF card and java problems

I'm trying to install a JRE on a 64MB CF card. The only filesystem type
that I've been able format the card as and successfully mount is VFAT,
formatting the card as EXT2 or EXT3 will
work but calling
        # mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /disk
gives the following error:
        # mount: Mounting /dev/hda1 on /disk failed: No such device

Since soft links aren't supported on VFAT, the JRE won't run.
I've tried mounting the card using a loopback device but that gave the
same error as before.

WHat is wrong with the CF card that it won't let me mount it if it is
formatted as EXT2 or EXT3? Is there anyway of getting VFAT to understand
softlinks? Has anyone else managed to get JRE to run on VFAT?
