If the needed kernel modules are loaded (usually usb-storage and
dependencies) the device should be "/dev/sda1" (but better if you look
in your syslog), so you can use "mount" or "pmount" to mount the
device, i will suggest "pmount /dev/sda1 usd-disk", this should create
a /media/usb-disk mount point...
