The manual way is to create a directory for it to be mounted to, I suggest 
something under /media, like /media/flash.

Then you can manually mount it by running as root, mount -t 
vfat /dev/sda1 /media/flash.

I realize that is a pain. But auto mounting should work fine in Kubuntu, it 
does for me (well before I moved from AMD64 to i386 an hour ago). If it 
doesn't look into why. Is udev installed? It does not seem to  be to me.

I will check out my system more this evening after the kid is in bed, but I 
have to go wake him now.
