I believe tht you would add the /dev/usbdevice (usually /dev/sda1 for my 
usb hard drive) and create a directory like /mnt/usbdevice to mount the 
drive. I create the mountpoint and usually add the device to mount 
within /etc/rc.d/rc.local file by issuing something like below.
mount /dev/usbdevice /mnt/usbdevice
as an example.
The rc.local file is pretty late in the boot process and other factors 
should already have been initialized. I'm not too sure if usb 
funtionality is loaded before the drives are mounted from /etc/fstab or not.
