Accessing a Mass storage device

[Michael Wu]

Hi Roger,

　　Please check the log file "messages" to see which device name is
recognized by the kernel. For example, the JetFlash usb storage that I
have attached to my box could be recognized as "/dev/sda1", "/dev/sda2",
and "/dev/sda4", but only "/dev/sda4" is workable.

　　Hope that helps.
