Hi,

I know that when I got my 2 flash memory devices, I had to recompile me
kernel with scsi support to be able to access them and then I could do a

$ mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd

I added it to my fstab to make life easier.  

When I plug my stick in I see this from my dmesg:

Feb  4 17:42:20 [kernel] sda: assuming Write Enabled
Feb  4 17:42:20 [kernel] sda: assuming drive cache: write through
Feb  4 17:42:20 [kernel] WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not

Hope that helps a little.
