Status on this issue...

Where /dev/sda1 used to be the location of my USB, now that I'm running from the hard drive, evidently /dev/uba1 is where the device resides now.

I edited the /ect/fstab file, added in an entry like so:
/dev/uba1 /mnt/usbhd usbfs noauto,users,exec,0 0

Mounting using either the mount app, or from Bash has the same effect. Basically, ls /mnt/usbhd returns two things:
001
devices

Clearly the mount command is doing something. But, it's not mounting the USB key.

I've tried a few variations on the filesystem, like vfat or auto. Anything like that causes mount to return that /dev/uba1 is not a valid block device.

So... I'm at a loss... And what really baffles me is that mounting /dev/sda1 worked just fine when running from the CD. I guess that has something to do with running from a RAM drive as opposed to an actual HD installation.

Any help here would be hot.

Is there no one around that can possibly help me with this?

Believe me, Google has been no help with this one... And I've exhausted every idea I've had.

Which version of DSL-N are you running? There's a glitch in RC3. It's been discussed here recently.

Sorry to sound like a moron here, but I'm not really sure what version I'm running. I downloaded the ISO like 6 months ago. The Kernel version is 2.6.12 (if that helps).

As of right now the system is 100% functional except for 2 things. The USB mount is one, and the lack of PHP in Monkey is the other.

I'll have to try to figure that one out later...
Nevermind on that last point. I got PHP working.

I'd comment out the line in /etc/fstab for now and try mounting from the commandline.

mount -t vfat /dev/usa1 /mnt/test

Are you sure /dev/usa1 is the usb device?
