Post subject:  Accessing / Mounting removable USB pen

I have 2x USB slots on my VIA EPIA MII Motherboard.

I want to put media (jpegs for eg) on the pen drive and access from myth. It does not appear to "automount" anywhere or "autodetect".

my /etc/fstab has...

Code:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0


I've looked in /dev but there are millions of devices. How do I determine the name of the device for each USB slot? At a guess I went for sda and sda1 and made the following additons to /etc/fstab

Code:
/dev/sda /usb defaults 0 0


But whatever is on the sda device is NOT whats on my pen drive.

It should show up as /media/disk or /media/usbdisk if the automount is working.

What does "mount" show after you plug it in?
