Same as the other reply : 

If you're too lazy like me to type the full command, you can add an
entry in you fstab.

Here is mine for mu USB HD :

/dev/sda1	/mnt/usbdrive	vfat    noauto,user,umask=000   0 0

...so that, you'll juste have to type "mount /mnt/usbdrive" to be ready
... not really a big trick, but better than "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1
/mnt/usbdrive", isn't it. 

And the noauto arg means that it's to be mounted automatically at boot
time.
