Hi JP,

I faced the same problem with my USB cardreader. First of all you have to find 
out if the kernel has seen the USB HD. To do this you can plug in the HD, and 
run dmesg after a few seconds. This will tell you if the kernel has detected 
the HD, and if it's sda, sdb sdc etc.

Next you should do a search on google on mknod /dev/sda. Then it's possible to 
create the device nodes manually so you can actually do something with the 
HD. 

Hope this helps,
Cedric
