the mount point for the "special" file /dev/sda1 would be in /media. /dev/sda
wait, /dev/sda1 is my root filesystem. my USB stick is /dev/sdf .
mount /dev/sdf /media/sdf1
what is the output of the mount command on your system as it normally boots:
what folders do you have under /media?
if sda1 is your USB stick, what happens when you type:
mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ( assuming you have a folder sda1 under /media)
