} How about "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usb" ?

It will probably be necessary to specify which partition on the device is
type FAT:
"sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb"
Of course, you will have to pick and specify the proper partition in the
mount command based on how your device is formatted.
