that means it loaded..  you can then do 'lsmod'  to see what modules are 
loaded.

I would also do a 'dmesg' after you run that, and see what information was 
tossed in there after running it.

I think usb drives typically show up as scsi?

With my usb key chain (not sure if its the same), it shows up as sda..

so i

modprobe usb-storage
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
