I've had a look around but can't see how to mount my USB pen under 2.6
(stable). I've just upgraded from 2.4 where I had a line in /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /usbkey vfat users,noauto 0 0
but under 2.6 my first SATA drive in now /dev/sda1 so I'm confused what
I should replace the about line with.
I see from SYSLOG that when I plug the USB pen into the slot:

but trying to mount sdc doesn't work:

type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
