Thanks again Matt,

Unfortunately, the "should" doesn't happen.

-- Snip
[root@localhost]# mount /dev/sda
mount: can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[root@localhost]# mount /dev/sda5
mount: special device /dev/sda5 does not exist
[root@localhost]# modprobe sd_mod
[root@localhost]# mount /dev/sda5
[root@localhost]# ls /mnt/orb...
-- Snip

As you suggested, the presence of the USB device doesn't force the sd_mod 
module to load.  But, trying to mount /dev/sda5 doesn't either.  So there is 
some link or configuration that I don't quite have right yet to convince that 
module to load when I try to mount the drive.  Unless someone has a 
suggestion, I'll probably just live with loading it by hand for the time 
being.  Hey, it works which is a major step from where I was a week ago.
