I may have mislead you on a couple of points. First, my system has a
real SCSI disk which is sda1 so my camera had to be sdb1. Second,
someone told me and I assume it is correct that /mnt is meant to be used
as an auxilliary mount point for temporary mounts. For example, my
cdrom is normally mounted at /cdrom but if I need to execute a program
from a cd, I would mount it at /mnt with exec. I believe the following
will work for you:
1. Add /dev/sda1 /camera vfat ro,users,noauto 0 0 to /etc/fstab
2. md /camera
3. mount /camera
4. ls /camera to begin the search for the jpeg files. Mine were in a
sub-directory.
Good luck,
Tom
