I have a USB 2.0 book drive with an ATA drive inside it.This is 
recognized by the kernel and is given /dev/sda as an identity. I found 
out the drive by typing the below within a root terminal, as someone 
earlier suggested.

fdisk -l

You should get a list of hard disks. Look for a device that is 256 megs 
big.

You should be able to find information in the list archives or by doing 
a google search for the stuff that needs to be added to your /etc/fstab 
file and to what directory to make to mount the flash drive on, like 
/mnt/flashdrive or something similar.

If the flashdrive is ntfs, you will not be able to mount it, unless you 
get an ntfs driver and install it. This information is also in the 
archives (somewhere)
