How to mount external usb drive

[Joerg Johannes <j-j@gmx.de>]

Hi list

I'm the proud owner of an Archos jukebox mp3 player, which is, in fact, 
nothing else than an external usb drive (20 gig) with buit-in mp3-decoder.
I have loaded the usb modules (usbcore & usb-uhci), apt-get installed 
usbview, libusb0, usbutils, but I cannot see if the device is detected. 
usbview says "Can not open /proc/bus/usb/devices", which does not exist.
It says furthermore "verify that the usbdevfs is mounted".
However, I have a kernel without devfs, does that make it impossible to use 
usb drives?

Thanks for helping me (or pointing me to the right docs...)

thanks
joerg
