Digital Camera

I've got a digital camera that plugs in using a usb port. Then it's just a removable disk. Problem is that there's no block device for the four usb ports. Two on the front and the same on the back. How do I make a block device or something along the lines of getting the block devices to show up under /dev

try to look in /dev/scsi
you should see some dir with the name: host1 (the digit may be different)
(if you got the tree command type the following, else I recomend emerging it 'emerge tree')

Code:

tree /dev/scsi

you should see an output similar to:
this:

Code:

/dev/scsi/
`-- host2
    `-- bus0
        `-- target0
            `-- lun0
                |-- disc
                `-- part1

where the path "/dev/scisi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1" is the mountable device for the camers storage.

you might have run do 'modprobe usb-storage' (as root) first.

Code:

bash-2.05b# tree /dev/scsi/
/dev/scsi/

0 directories, 0 files

[/code]

ok, did you run "modprobe usb-storage" before typing tree?

Now I'm told to specify the filesystem
