"mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir"
-- from the mount manpage.
did you see this: ^^^
you need to have an entry for that in the /etc/fstab file
or you need to specify the mountpoint, which is just an empthy dir.
did I make sense to you ?
also, try reading the whole man page, I also think there is a manpage
about fstab.
Hope this helps... it should :)
