Have a look at the output of

	tail -f /var/log/messages

There you will find the device (with partition) to be mounted. For
example

	Oct 24 00:20:48 localhost kernel:  sda: sda1

Then you can mount the flash drive with

	mount /dev/sda1 /media/<whatever>

or better

	mount -o async /dev/sda1 /media/<whatever>

(see:
http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/22/111748.html)
or even

	mount -o noatime,async /dev/sda1 /media/<whatever>

HTH
