In the past, hdaX was IDE drives and sdaX was SCSI drives. We now use
one kernel module for both IDE and SCSI. This, *I think*, is an upstream
change.

Why are you confused? How did you managed to find and mount your USB
drive in the past? Just use sdaX instead of hdaX when mounting the
drive. Also, don't your USB drive mount autmatically when you are logged
in to the GUI as a normal user (or is your install used without GUI?) If
you are unsure, (forgive me GUI lovers) do a 'cat /proc/partitions' and
you will see what devices you have.
