I am having trouble getting a USB pen drive to mount. I am running an

My /etc/fstab is:

/dev/sda1 /media/pen vfat user,umask=0000,noauto 0 0
When I try to mount the drive I get the following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /media/pen
mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
I have, in fact, tried two separate pen drives with the same results.
Where did you get the name sda1 from to put in the fstab?
Doug.
That was probably copied from the Sarge installation that used to be on
this box. I thought that I had used the pen drive since I converted to
Etch, but it is possible that I had not. If so, then where should I
check to find the correct drive designation to use since dmesg does not
give me that information?
