install to sd card

I would like to install GhostBSD 3.1 (LXDE version) to an mmc SDCH card. I have searched online but found no information about this. In fact, I cannot even find information about how to mount an mmc card in GhostBSD.
I have installed a few Linux systems onto sd cards and they work fine. Please help. Thanks.

you want to install GhostBSD .imf on sd card or install GhostBSD on a sd card?

I don't know what is GhostBSD .imf
I wanted to just install the regular GhostBSD system onto the card, as if the sd card
was a hard-drive. That's how I did it with the Linux systems.
I would also need to put a boot-loader onto the mbr of the sd card.
For this, I would prefer GRUB, because the card I have is 32 GB, and
I would like to partition it before installing GhostBSD, so that I can
put some other operating systems on it as well. So information on that
would be helpful too ... I'm still not too familiar with GhostBSD's naming
of devices and partitions (I know they are called slices).
(PS - Since I wrote the original question to this forum, I installed GhostBSD onto
a real hard-drive for the first time, and so far I really like it.)

I never use sd card yet, but it should show up as sd* or da*.
* = number

On my GhostBSD machine I have the SDHC card inserted into the slot, but the only devices which have slice numbers are ad0 and ada0, and ad0 is a link to ada0 ... and ada0 is the hard-drive which already has GhostBSD installed onto it.
There is no /dev/da* or /dev/sd* .. this is one of the reasons why I said already that I don't know how to even mount the SD card. I'm guess that there must be a module which needs to be loaded, and if so, then how can I load it without rebooting the system?

What kind of card reader is it?
will show it.
you can
and
and see if the card reader shows up.

Thanks! .. I did kldload mmc and kldload sdhci and did not get any error messages. But when I ls /dev/ it still shows all the same devices which I had before. Here is that output:

You made a typo: it should be pciconf -lv. Here is the complete output from that command on my system (the Atheros is a cardbus wifi card, the Intel wifi shows up here and must be an internal wifi, but I have never been able to get it working with GhostBSD, PC-BSD, or Linux).

The best way to know if you card reader is supported is Ctrl+Alt+F1 in the same time it will bring you to tty0 put your sd card in. You will see on which dev/*. To go back to the desktop Ctrl+Alt+F9.
You can also look /var/log/dmesg.*

I tried loading all three modules, each one separately, and also all three on top of each other. Now kldstat shows me that they are loaded, but there is still no new information, neither in pciconf nor in dmesg.
Any other ideas?
Maybe I should mention that this is an old computer: an HP Compaq nc6000 laptop, and a very new sd card: a 32 gb Sony SF-32UY with the U-1 and C-10 symbols printed on it. Perhaps the problem lies there?
