You don't mount /dev/sda but /dev/sda1 (see dmesg output for list of partitions available on sda). Do "su" first and then try mounting the device. From the same root terminal, see if you are able to see the contents of the partition. Are you sure it has vfat file-system? Mounting it should be as simple as # mkdir /mnt/usb # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb # ls /mnt/usb
