I use a flash drive formatted in fat32 without any problems. To mount it I use the command: mount /mnt/sda1
But I also have a question: to mount the usb flash drive, I need to plug it when dsl is booting. Otherwise, I can't mount it because it "isn't in the proc partition table". Which is the command I need to use in order to mount it properly?

Gustav: mounting usually requires two parameters, what you want to mount (/dev/sda1) and where to mount it (a directory somewhere, like /mnt/sda1).

If your stick has been recognized on boot, a dir has been created for it in /mnt, and an entry added in /etc/fstab, so you can mount it with only one parameter, and the rest are filled in from fstab.

mount /dev/sda1

Nope. If hotplug has assigned it mount point and it's in /etc/fstab, you mount it on that point (in /mnt). If it assigns /dev/sda1 to mountpoint /mnt/sda1, you mount that:
Code Sample
mount /mnt/sda1

You don't mount nodes in /dev.
