You need to do
$ dmesg | less
and hit 'G' to go to the end. Right after you plug it in, it will detect
it. Usually, it will say that the device name is "sdb". In which case,
you'd want do something like
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /usb0
or
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /usb0
(If you're running a GUI, of course, all of the above is unnecessary
because it usually automounts it and you can just access it through the
mount point.)
