Trying to mount a flash drive - RH9

[Tokunbo]

Hi,

I recently installed the "small linux box" option of RH9.

I have succeeded in trying to mount my cdrom. It mounted and i was able to see its contents

I quite have a problem with my flash drive...Its a 256 Sony manufactured device. I followed the tutorial at:
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1256766,00.asp

I did the

cd /mnt
mkdir /usbstick

and then added the line

/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,umask=0 0 0

to my fstab file at /etc DIR.

Now I plugged in my flash drive and did

cd /mnt
mount usbstick

I get no response, so i decide to reboot the PC....and re-did

cd /mnt
mount usbstick

i then get the message:

Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 1048640 512-byte hdwr sectirs (537MB)
sda: write Protect is off

pls what do i do next...how do i acces the contents of the usb.....are the above messages correct?

Try:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick

Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

It looks like it worked. Try:

ls -al /mnt/usbstick

or

cd /mnt/usbstick
ls -al
