I just got a new USB 2.0 flashdrive that I want to access. It

the mount -t command?
Yes, put an entry in /etc/fstab for it. e.g.:
/dev/da0 /flash[1] msdosfs[2] rw
[1]Or whatever you call the mount point(make sure the mount point exists, of course)
[2]To the best of my knowledge, most devices format their Flash memory as an MSDOS FAT filesystem; my digital camera certainly does, and this is the entry I put for the CF card reader.
You probably don't want to dump or check this, nor mount it auto, since it's removable media; if I'm wrong, put in the appropriate options(from man fstab and man mount).
