Thanks Jim, I guess I need to be a bit clearer. Im not trying to boot
from USB flash (so I don't want a debian image on it), I just want to
mount a USB drive so I can read/write files. Its a 1 GB Sandisk (if
that matters) and I use it regularly between about 6 machines of
assorted Linux and Windows flavors, no problems. I mount it on my
laptop with:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
And all is well.
Im booting my TS7200 from compact flash with debian (as opposed to
TS-linux on internal flash).
On the Ts-7200:
fdisk -l /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/
returns NOTHING.
>From my laptop:
fdisk -l /dev/sda1 (on my laptop)
says this:
Disk /dev/sda1: 1023 MB, 1023809024 bytes
32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 991 cylinders

Once (and only once) when I first tried to mount my USB flash on my
TS7200, I got it to work with:
mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/flash
Maybe I didn't umount it before removing it or rebooting. I don't
know. Im assuming that /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 was
partition 1 on my USB memory stick (as the TS7200 sees it). I have no
idea what type of partition 6C is nor why I didn't see part2, part3 or
part4 and why part1 (or anything) isn't there now. Its like the USB
driver recognozes its a USB memory stick but doesn't recognise the
partition types.
