No wonder, this device node is unknown to the system.

Here it states that it has the /dev/sda1 node

So the correct line for fstab is left as an exercise.

And some warning in advance:
The device node may change if you use multiple thumbdrives.

For giving the thumbdrive a permanent node, refer to some HowTo on
