It is recognized as /dev/sdc1 and can be mounted and accessed with

mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt

There is no icon for it on the desktop, unlike the case of other removable 
devices.

I found another problem by doing this that should really be a new topic. It 
doesn't seem to play too nice with FreeBSD:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *       48693      121602   585646299   a5  FreeBSD
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdb2           14650       48692   273437697    5  Extended
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdb5           14650       15258     4882432   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb6           15258       18298    24413184   83  Linux
/dev/sdb7           18298       48692   244140032   83  Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order

For that reason, for example, Clonezilla doesn't want to save partitions on 
this 
drive. Comments on that subject would be welcome too.

well, if 'dmesg' indicates that it sees a scsi drive, you can find out
what its partition table is with 'fdisk -l' and then mount whatever
partition exists (probably sdX1 for some alphabetical value of X) as:

mount /dev/sdXY /mnt

if dmesg doesn't spit out a bunch of stuff about how it found a new
mass storage device and assigned it a drive letter, something deeper
is wrong and posting the output here is going to be necessary for
further troubleshooting.

but that's a bummer!
