I have a Fujitsu 20Gb USB disk
that I want to use under linux.

I read and followed any documentation that came to my hands:
compiling an appropiate kernel, ..., and _almost_
all seems to be correct. Now I fail to figure out
which device-file (files under /dev/) stands for the disk
so I can't make 

  mount /dev/??????? /mnt/mydisk

I've looked for such device in many places,
some listed below, with no luck.

I show you the details of my system:

- Linux from Debian 2.2r2 distribution (potato)
  with 2.2.18pre21 kernel

- Kernel configuration (have I missed something?) =============

 Linux Kernel v2.2.18pre21 Configuration 

  (options not shown are not compiled in-kernel
   nor compiled as module)

    SCSI SUPPORT

<*> SCSI support
<*> SCSI disk support
<*> SCSI generic support
[*] Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device
[*] Verbose SCSI error reporting (kernel size +=12K)

    USB SUPPORT

<*> Support for USB
[*]   USB verbose debug messages
<*>   UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support
<M>   OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support
<*>   USB Mass Storage support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*]     USB Mass Storage verbose debug

Well (if you reached this line you deserve a prize)
the question is:

 - is my USB hard disk supported by kernel 2.2.18pre21?
     YES:
         - where my error is? which /dev/ should I use?
     NO:
         You need a 2.4 kernel. Then I have
        a problem, since debian potato is not prepared
        to support a 2.4 kernel (I think!) and I
        want to use a Debian distributed kernel.
        
thank you very very much in advance.
