Mine (TechTone/Desay USA 32MB) is detected and can be mounted by, as root: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/your_mount_point and an /etc/fstab entry would be: /dev/sda1 /mnt/your_mount_point vfat user,exec,noauto,rw,sync,umask=0 0 0 Note that you'll need the usb-storage module. Hotplug will typically load all the proper modules. Make sure that you substitute the actual mount point (which you have created with mkdir) for your_mount_point.
