The block device partition will be something like /dev/sdb1 or 
/dev/sdc1, it depends on how
many disks you have  at the host.

If you can use the sub key with the host, go to a terminal window and type

$ mount

one of the lines will be have, among other things:

/dev/sdb1 /media/usbkey.

What comes after dev is the name you need, /media/usbkey is where the 
usb key files are
at the host, it will be different for you.
