tail -n 20 /var/log/message
You will get something like this.(for me in my laptop it is like this)

You also find ls -l /dev/sda*
mount /dev/sda1 -t auto /media/usb0.
See better http://www.debian-administration.org/topics/Debian/ for usb keys.

lvgdell600m:~# ls -l /dev/sda*
brw-r----- 1 root hal 8, 0 Jul 16 16:13 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Jul 16 16:13 /dev/sda1
Then mount as
