This solution is not always work. For example if you want mount another
usbkey obviously the device will be other than /dev/sda, more over if
this device hangs before for some reason again you will need another device.
I don't know how work the mount automatically, but this is not the way
and taken in mind that not always is just /dev/sdx, sometimes is
/dev/sdxn, for 'n' be a number and 'x' a letter 'a', 'b', 'c', etc, the
answer below is not exactly right.
My way is take a look to the kernel messages (using 'dmesg') and the
using a simple script like:
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#|/bin/sh
# This script will mount a usb mass storage in the directory /mnt/usbkey
mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sd$1 /mnt/usbkey
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example if I mount a usbkey that support USB2.0 and run 'dmesg' I
see the next messg:
scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 2
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
Vendor: Generic Model: USB SD Reader Rev: 2.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00
SCSI device sda: 1984000 512-byte hdwr sectors (1016 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
SCSI device sda: 1984000 512-byte hdwr sectors (1016 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: sda1
sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
usb-storage: device scan complete
I will run the script in the next form:
> script_mount_usbkey a1
Good luck,

Got a /etc/fstab entry like this?
dev/sda /media/usbkey auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
and have you issued this command from a console, to create it's 'mount'
point, as defined in fstab, as shown above?
$ sudo mkdir -p /media/usbkey
