I knew I had seen something more about this somewhere, so went digging....
The 3400c is very like the 2400c, and for our purposes the key thing is that its cardbus capability is similar (and similarly compromised).
Dan Palka (he now of InfoMac and an occasional poster in these parts) has a set of well-hidden pages on the 3400c ( http://www.danpalka.net/hooper/ ) in which he points out that the 3400c will not boot with a cardbus card inserted, though once booted, cardbus cards will (sometimes) work.
By a kind of mathematical necessity, this means that running a 3400c from a cardbus CF drive is not likely going to happen, and the chances are that the same applies to the 2400c.
There are cardbus-CF adapters or readers commercially and readily available, but they are a good deal more expensive than the older 16-bit pcmcia cards, and would likely be no use for the purposes I had in mind.
Ho hum.
