If you have the debian image on there, then surley the filesystem is ext2?

mount -t ext2 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/flash

what is the output from

 fdisk -l /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/

Are you sure there is a partition table on this device. It is becoming
common for cfdisks to be formatted like floppy disks, without a partition
table etc.

On another machine you should create an ext2 partition on the cfdisk, then
untar the debian image on that partition, then try the mount again.
