Ah, one thing that's worth noting, which I should have spotted earlier,
is that /dev/sda isn't a filesystem that can be mounted. /dev/sda is
the first sata or scsi *drive* and /dev/sdb is the second. You need to
specify the partition, by appending its number.

/dev/sda1 is the first partition on the disk, /dev/sda2 the second.
They might not be numbered in a sane-looking way, though.
The easiest way might be to just repeatedly try doing it manually and
then go on to add what works to the fstab. 

What's the actual problem you're trying to solve? You started by asking
about the tool for managing removable drives, /etc/fstab is probably
not what you were actually after, since it's rather brittle by defualt,
and the desktop environment provides a few shortcuts. If you always
want some volume automatically mounted at the same place by Nautilus,
then it's nautilus that probably wants configuring.
