Hi Miguel:
First, you should be using YDL 3, and BootX. OR you could you BootX
together with YDL 4. Here's the link to do YDL 4 and BootX;

Assuming you have done that and everything works and you can boot into
YDL from whatever Classic Mac OS you use, the issue now is whether YDL
can see the USB drive.
Here's the tricky part (which is sad as you are a newbie, but if you
follow through you may not be a newbie any longer): YDL 3 and 4 have
the capacity to load the appropriate drivers needed to see USB drives
and mount them IF the drivers were installed when the kernels were
designed! The good news is that most likely it's been done for you and
all you have to do is check whether Linux actually sees the devices and
lists them within a terminal.
If the drives appear together with all the other drives listed which
Linux sees, then you are "in business". To mount the drive so that you
can transfer files, erase files and otherwise control the drive from
WITHIN LINUX just follow the instructions in
man mount
or
info mount
execute these commands from within a terminal, and it is a good habit
to be in superuser when doing such things.
Norberto's instructions are perfect for you. Keep in mind that being
superuser is the same thing as using root. Using superuser is a bit
faster as it gives you root status. When your done just exit and you'll
be back in a regular user account. You DID set up a regular user
account didn't you?
So:
$ su
password:
# mount (do whatever you would do as root)
# exit (use this command when you are finished using the commands and
features available as root)
$ (THIS SYMBOLIZES THAT YOU ARE BACK TO THE USER LEVEL)
Buena suerte, compañero.
Hasta Luego!!
