As root you can do

Code:
mount /dev/sd?1 /yourmountpoint


Replace the ? with the right letter for the device. If you don't know take a look in the output of dmesg. If you want to mount as a user you need an entry in your /etc/fstab in which case you should consider using hal.

After the messages you posted should come a few lines of SCSI messages like this:

Code:

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 5
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
  Vendor: MAXTOR    Model: 6L060J3           Rev: A93.
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sde: 117266688 512-byte hdwr sectors (60041 MB)
sde: assuming drive cache: write through
SCSI device sde: 117266688 512-byte hdwr sectors (60041 MB)
sde: assuming drive cache: write through
 /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
Attached scsi disk sde at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi generic sg4 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 0
usb-storage: device scan complete


In this example (my external HDD on USB) the device is sde so I would have to use /dev/sde

No. I guess you still have problems? Do you have SCSI support and SCSI disk support in your kernel?
