Edward,
Thank you for responding.

#usbfs      /proc/bus/usb   usbfs    rw,devmode=0660,devgid=432   0      
0    
#none     /proc/bus/usb    usbfs    defaults   0  0
proc    /proc  proc  defaults  0 0

I have tried these lines in fstab, with the final line working.  I had 
to change sdb1 to sda1 and sda to sdb (usbdrive and usbpendrive, 
respectivly) in order to get them to work.  The last line "proc /proc 
proc defults 0 0" is what my stright deb. box had.   None of these lines 
got rid of the "-/proc/bus/input/devices missing" boot message (I 
changed the entry then rebooted, since I don't know how to umount /proc 
and remount).  I can fathom out that this error message is "Related" to 
the usb drive problem but not the cause of it, since I have a 
/proc/bus/usb dir.  I have no idea what the first fstab proc is trying 
to do, or why the 2nd one did not work, or, indeed, why the third one 
works, but only if I change my fstab drive entries for the devices to 
different designations.  I guess this is why Linus dislikes this method 
for handeling usb?

Thanks for the pointers.
