    Manually Mounting a USB Drive

    http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11637.html

    I was going through this tutorial linked above, but then when I got to the dmesg | grep -i portion, I thought for a moment and said to myself, "Wait, I don't have that kind of output.

    Which is true,

    dmesg | grep -i "SCSI device" outputs
    Code:
    nothing
    where

    dmesg | grep -i "SCSI" outputs
    Code:
    [    0.436103] Block layer SCSI generic (bsg) driver version 0.4 loaded (major 253)
    [    3.589321] SCSI subsystem initialized
    [    4.096573] scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
    [    9.102665] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access     SanDisk  Cruzer           8.01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS
    [    9.369117] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk
    So how do I manually mount a USB drive after I've first installed the base CLI system (using mini.iso) to a linux distro such as ubuntu or Debian?

    Found out what to use,

    it's /dev/sda1 and not /dev/sda.
