Once you've got USB support working, you might want to use ivman to mount your flash drive for you.
Have a quick look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ivman to get you started. If you're using GNOME, you might want to emerge gnome-volume-manager too, which can put icons on the desktop as the disk is mounted. I'm sure KDE has an equivalent. If this works, you won't need to mount the disk from the command line.
