a real newbie-type question.

in my 2.4.7-10 RH7.2 i just put  in my /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera   auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

then i could just mount my cameras and cards (in a lexar reader)
nad they were just files on /mnt/camera.

but now i get mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
brw-rw----    1 root     disk       8,   1 Sep 15  2003 /dev/sda1

anything i am doing wrong?  BTW, i do also have a USB HP printer
on the machine, which works fine.

thanks,

-rei
