I've set up my 2gb card with a fat and an ext2 partition. The 770 file manager only sees the fat partition.

Is this fixable?

If not, is there a file manager that will see both partitions?

The Filemanager only shows your files in /home/user/MyDocs and mmc1 !

You can create a symlink from /media/mmc2 (mountpoint of your mmc ext2) to /home/user/MyDocs/mmc2
Type in x-term:
ln -s /media/mmc2 /home/user/MyDocs/mmc2

Ah, of course.

Now, where's the equivalent of rc.local so it'll do it on reboot?

You'll have to create a init.d script or append your lines you want to execute (probably insmoding ext2.ko) to a already existing script (minircS or so).
mounting of the mmc2 could be done with an adapted fstab entry.

You only need to do it once. "ln -s" creates a symlink, which is like a shortcut in Windows (only with lower level support) or an Alias on a Mac, it wont disappear on reboot.

That's right! But the mmc doesn't mount automatically.
So the ext2.ko has to be loaded and the device has to be mounted (every single boot).
